The Deni RSL boasts a diverse range of facilities, including The Brasserie restaurant, a cafe, gaming area, Keno, TAB and outdoor spaces, catering to all tastes and preferences.
Taking the time to eat at the local club will not disappoint, with highly experienced chefs, an inviting and accommodating service staff and amenities that other spaces don’t offer.
The Brasserie offers a great range of menu options, or you can get a lighter meal or sweet treat at the café.
In the summer, the club is the ideal spot to escape the heat for a cool drink at the bar. Inside in the airconditioning is comfortable, but if you prefer the outdoors the misters in each of the beer gardens will do the trick too.
At the front of the club is the gaming lounge, which also provides plenty of space to sit and catch up, and there’s even a dance floor so you can make the most of the live music.
Popular acts that regularly appear at the club include Jade Camden, Shane and Ellie, Elise Drake, Michael Hogan and Ray McCartney.
The sports lounge at the rear is where you’ll find the TAB facilities, and extended further back in the club is a great family area which leads out into the larger of the two beer gardens. This space is also where you will find the Little Diggers indoor playground, which turns into a supervised crèche on particular evenings.
The RSL can even accommodate birthdays, wedding ceremonies, expos and functions in any of its function
rooms. These include the impressive Mountbatten Room, which features its own bar and can comfortably accommodate up to 100 guests. The gallery room is the smallest and more intimate space, geared toward smaller birthday parties and work professional development opportunities. The largest function room/space, the Dunlop Room auditorium, also has its own bar and can fit upwards of 500 people.
Like any good RSL, there’s always opportunities for members and guests to go home a winner. If you’re a bit of a trivia buff, put a team together and head along to the Tuesday Night Trivia. There’s always laughs, a bit of friendly competition and prizes to be won. If trivia isn’t your cup of tea, why not try the Monday bingo. There’s also a series of raffles and other games throughout the week, and members have the added advantage of being in the running for the weekly membership draws.
Members also get discounts on food and drinks, and a few other great perks. Local and interstate memberships are available.
The Deniliquin RSL Club’s friendly service doesn’t stop there. A courtesy bus service runs on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, so that you arrive at the club and home again safely.
For more information about the club facilities or to book a seat on the courtesy bus, call into the club in End St, Deniliquin or phone (03) 5881 1455.

Deni Ute Muster Museum
Open Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm
Deniliquin Festival Site, Conargo Rd OCTOBER3&4
The spirit of the Deni Ute Muster can be celebrated year-round. The Deni Ute Muster museum extends on the iconic event, with a place to visit and learn all about the town’s famous festival.
The Deni Ute Muster is a two-day festival held each NSW Labour Day weekend that includes two night concerts, camping for three days, endless trade and catering stall, a huge schedule of around the grounds entertainment all for the one ticket price.
It features performances from world-class artists, previously hosting stars such as Kip Moore, Tyler Hubbard, Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood and Cold Chisel.
The event is famous for mustering up world record numbers of utes to the town, as well as iconic activities of rural life such as whip cracking and bull riding.
The museum tells the story of the Deni Ute Muster from its beginnings in 1999, when a small group of locals gathered to try and develop an event that could ‘put Deniliquin on the map’. They have succeeded in spades. The museum covers more than two decades to the present day, paying tribute to the ute, and all the history behind the festival and its attractions.
At the museum, located at the entrance to the famed festival site, visitors can check out an amazing collection of memorabilia.
A library has been created containing magazines and newspapers which featured the muster, books about
the Deni Ute Muster, and even books on the artists who have performed at the event. Items on display include historic stickers, articles, tickets, wristbands and merchandise.
Honour boards listing competition winners have also been produced. You may even find yourself on the interactive touch screens showcasing photos of the event through the years.
The retail space means locals and visitors can pick up some great souvenirs. Goodies include shirts, hats, stubby holders, as well as the classic blue singlets worn at the event.
The centrepiece of the current exhibition is a 1979 HZ WB Bitza designed and built by ‘Ferrel Kev’, and now retired to the exhibition.
There is a rotating roster of Muster punters eager to display their utes in the iconic Museum.
Chat to the staff to learn all about the famous festival. The museum is open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. Weekend viewings can be arranged by appointment, by calling (03) 5881 3388.
For more information about the museum or the famous Deni Ute Muster, go to www.deniutemuster. com.au.
The Deniliquin Pastoral and Agricultural Society will present the 144th instalment of the Deniliquin Show in March 2025.
The two-day event includes the main show on Saturday, March 1, with horse events spilling to the following day. All the action will be centred on Deniliquin Memorial Park Showgrounds.
One of the most exciting aspects of next year’s Deni Show is the theme it has taken on. After the success of the ‘farm produce’ theme in 2024, the 2025 theme is ‘bright colours’. Expect to see the theme reflected across all the show competitions, and even with the show day attire of patrons.
Show Society president Trudy Fanning has said the event is being organised with the community in mind. The committee is busily working on making it as action-packed and fun event for all ages.
Major Deniliquin Show attractions expected to return include the dog trials, carnival rides, demolition derby and the much anticipated fireworks show to
close out the first day of the show. In fact, the show committee hope to have two demolition derbies, with one specifically for female entrants.
Free activities will be offered, which will include face painting, a petting zoo and even camel rides. And the Miss and Master competitions are always a fun way to get involved, with categories from Tiny Tots right up to adults.
As a traditional country show, the agricultural and pastoral competitions are a big draw and include beef and dairy cattle, meat and dual-purpose sheep, Merino sheep, shearing and wool handling, poultry and the very popular horse and equestrian rings.
The horse events have become so popular in fact, they need two days for all the competitors to perform.
Pair all of this with a colourful pavilion of local arts, crafts and cookery, a vibrant sideshow alley, Giant Pumpkin Competition, static collector displays, and more around the grounds entertainment, the show is sure to entertain.
As an added bonus this year, every person who buys a ticket to the Deniliquin Show will also be helping an important local charity. The Show Society has teamed up with Deniliquin Can Assist this year, and a dollar from every adult ticket sold will be donated to aid their support of local families impacted by cancer.

Summer is a great time to use the many trails, parks and gardens in and around Deniliquin.
The Edward River district is home to over 148 beautiful parks, gardens, recreation areas and playgrounds.
You could choose one of the various trails on offer, like the McLean to Willoughby’s Beach to Beach walk, or the path through the centre of Deniliquin which takes you along the lagoon system and to the skate park and Deniliquin Waring Gardens.
The Beach to Beach walk is even host to Deniliquin Parkrun. The free weekly event starts at 8am each Saturday at the start of the McLean Beach trail
before the turnaround halfway point just past the water tower at Memorial Park for 2.5km with the total distance of 5km. At the free event, people are welcome to run or walk along the beautiful Edward River, with times able to be recorded as well if you bring a scanable barcode. It’s a way to get your weekend started, especially as the weather warms up.
There’s also the Deniliquin mountain bike trails in the Murray Valley Regional Park behind Memorial Park. This popular single track cycling network is perfect
for intermediate riders, covering 12km. If you don’t have your own bike at home, bikes are available for hire at the Deniliquin Visitor Information Centre. Bike riders are asked to please give way to walkers on the Willoughby Beach Walk and Billabong Loop Walk.
Getting out in the local area is a great way to experience the natural beauty around us, increase exercise levels and spend quality time with family with so much to explore around Deniliquin and the Edward River.
Calling all bargain lovers, collectors and salvage hunters — the Deniliquin Town Garage Sale is back in 2025.

The Deniliquin Town Garage Sale is an initiative of the Pastoral Times, in partnership with the Deniliquin Business Chamber.
is held on the 4th Saturday of each month in the beautiful Waring Gardens in the centre of town from 8am*.
A large range of stalls with something for everyone
Deniliquin is blessed to have a quality course located on the edge of the Murray Valley Regional Park, yet just a stone’s throw from the centre of town.
You can enjoy the beauty of this golf course, alongside the kangaroos, kookaburras, superb parrots, echidna, goannas, lizards, pelicans and a host of other wildlife that abounds in this paradise of nature. At its best, Deniliquin golf course with its 18 manicured fairways and true greens, is a shining example of Australia’s magnificent golf courses.
If you’re looking for a trip away, the Deni Golf Resort has you covered with a range of packages, built to take the stress out of finding accommodation. Its 22 units overlook the ninth fairway, and are nestled among bushland. It’s just 30m from the resort to the first tee, and it’s a shorter distance to the bushwalk track.
When professional golfers on the PGA Legends Tour played the Deniliquin Pro-Am tournament in October they were effusive in their praise of the course and its lay-out.
The course perfectly reflects a chance for all golfing standards to enjoy a fun and challenging round. By modern standards the course is not long — 5817 metre par 72 for men, and 5118 metre par 72 for ladies. However, off the back tees it is a challenge for all levels of player, as many professionals who have tried to tame the course have discovered.
Poor shots find the huge trees, or perhaps a creek of other water hole. There are contrasting holes, with the ‘back six’ having been reconstructed to form part of the town’s levee bank system. The greens are fast but true and always in great condition.
A feature of Deniliquin golf course is the ‘same day play’ principle that applies. On most days you can phone the pro shop on (03) 5881 3333 and book your tee off time, or just call in and one of the friendly volunteer staff will cater for your golfing needs. If you prefer the relaxation of a golf cart, there are plenty of those available too.
After your round on the course, enjoy the club’s facilities or relax under the veranda. Friday nights are a speciality in the clubhouse, when there are meat raffles, great meals and a fun atmosphere where locals will make you welcome. For the latest information on clubhouse opening and activities, phone (03) 5881 1325.
If you want to practise your game, the club has an under-cover driving range, which features an automated ball dispenser and lighting, allowing extended play on your terms. It’s simply a matter of getting a token or swiping your credit card to get a bucket of balls and work on your swing.
Visitors are also encouraged to enter any of the club’s regular competitions, which are on its website. These include medley events every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Keep an eye out for special charity days and competitions too, which are also listed on the club website www.denigolfclub.com.au

The Murray River region is adding to its artistic and cultural attractions in spectacular fashion.
A series of new murals and sculptures is being delivered across five towns within the region, the first of which has been completed at Mathoura.
The River Country Art Trail’s aim is to transform water towers and Tooleybuc’s Mensforth Park into artistic landmarks.
Spanish artist DULK was engaged to complete the mural adorning Mathoura’s water tower. His process since starting on November 17 was an attraction in itself.
Dulk’s concept, cartoon-like artwork is inspired by the local wildlife and natural ecosystem of the Murray river, particularly around the Mathoura area. It features a wide range of animals including the platypus, echidna, Murray short-necked turtle, Major Mitchell’s cockatoo, azure kingfisher, Murray cod, yellowbelly fish and Murray river crab among many others.
Japanese-born artist Twoone began his mural on Moama’s tower on Friday, December 6. This artwork has a strong connection with the Moama landscape and the local Yorta Yorta people. At the centre of the artwork is the white-faced heron, locally referred to as the ‘blue crane’. It holds significant cultural importance to the Yorta Yorta people and is well known to residents and visitors of the Murray River region. The crimson rosella, rainbow lorikeet, azure kingfisher, and superb fairy wren also feature, as does the humble Australian magpie and common myna. We live with these birds daily, and they are as much worth celebrating as their more exotic and colourful mates.
The Barham, Moulamein and Tooleybuc works will begin in early 2025. You may be lucky enough to see the artists at work, depending on when your visit to the region falls. But make sure to come back later to see them when they’re done.
At Barham, Gus Eagleton will deliver a water tower mural that will pay tribute to the town’s natural beauty and the pride the community takes in honouring its war heroes. It depicts members of the community gathering for the annual Barham-Koondrook Anzac Day parade. It shows the famous Barham Bridge, a march led by local celebrity George Rathbone and his horse Tuff and Highland Band.
Moulamein’s new mural will depict the themes of natural world and environment, belonging and community, and history and heritage of Moulamein. To be completed by artist Heesco, it will feature the famed Murray cod, the wedge-tailed eagle and rosellas in a gum tree. On river activities like fishing and skiing, and agricultural pursuits are also features, along with images of Moulamein’s rich heritage.
At Tooleybuc, an 11m tall sculpture will sit among the treetops at Mensforth Park. Designed by artist Stuart Green, it is called ‘Gathering the Bounty’ and symbolised the Riverina region’s abundance. It features a giant human figure, representing the Murray River, harvesting the fruits of the region’s natural gifts and human industry.
While people are encouraged to enjoy and observe the transformation of these spaces as the Art Trail comes to life, you are also asked to respect the artists’ space and allow them the concentration needed to complete these remarkable artworks.

Summers in the Riverina boast plenty of sun-filled days that allow to you explore from early in the morning until late in the evening, thanks to Daylight Saving time. But on those days you wish to just relax, or escape the dry summer heat, each of the communities in this district feature an array of ways to cool down. We explore some of those for you:
Part of the ever-expanding Barooga Adventure Park, the toddler-friendly water play zone alongside Bullanginya Lagoon includes a gentle water slide and splash pad designed with younger children in mind. There’s also a spray loop, and interactive ground sprays. The Adventure Park area is a winner with older kids too, with four individual trampolines, two flying foxes and a huge climbing frame keeping everyone busy for hours. It is located on Golf Course Rd.
Berrigan’s pool was renovated at the end of 2019, with new facilities to compliment the large and children’s-size pools. It also has multiple shaded areas and enough grassed area for the children to enjoy. It is located on Momalong St, Berrigan and entry is free!
The Finley Memorial Pool reopens this summer with new facilities too. The new modern, fit-for-purpose building incorporates change rooms and toilets tailored for families and the disabled, as well as a new kiosk area. The large L-shaped adult pool has enough room for all families and a shallow pool is also available for the younger kids. It is located on the Newell Highway, just north of Finley’s CBD.
Coleambally
At Coly, swimmers have free access to a 25-metre lap and recreational pool, shaded medium pool, and shaded toddler’s pool. The facility also includes change rooms and shaded picnic tables and a barbecue. All children under 14 need to be supervised by an adult. The pool is open six days a week, closed only on Mondays, and closes early on Fridays for Swim Club. A privately run senior water aerobics class also uses the pools on Wednesday and Friday mornings during school terms. The pool is located on Falcon Road, Coleambally.
Visit the newly constructed Corowa Aquatic Centre located on Edward St, Corowa. It features several aquatic and leisure facilities from an outdoor 50m Olympic sized pool, an indoor 25m heated pool, splash park, café, and a merchandise shop – just in case you forgot your togs.

Then explore the various natural waterways Corowa has to offer, from the Corowa Lagoon, the Memorial Park, and the Lions Park there’s plenty of spots to take a dip in the mighty Murray River.
Darlington Point
Darlington Point has a wide selection of ways to cool off this summer. The Darlington Point War Memorial Swimming Pool includes a 25m lap and recreational pool, shaded medium pool and shaded toddler’s pool. It also includes a kiosk, change rooms, shaded picnic tables and barbecue, and is located on Stock St. There are also 15 beaches in and around Darlington Point, situated on the Murrumbidgee River.

Beach, Paradise Beach, Bunyip Hole, Whittaker’s Bend, Reserve Beach, Lady Jane Beach, Boomerang Beach, Waradgery Beach, Digger’s Beach, The Point Beach and what’s affectionately known as Town Beach at the Darlington Point Caravan Park.
You’re spoiled for choice with places to cool down in Deniliquin. If you’re not enjoying McLean or Willoughby’s Beach, the Deniliquin Swim Centre’s three outdoor pools and splash park is the place to be. The splash park features sunflower showers, water guns and a dump bucket. There are also toddler-friendly elements including a leaf race and bucket filler. The splash park offers sun protection for its users with two shade sails sheltering the equipment. While it’s not likely to be your first pick over the summer months, the Deniliquin Swim Centre also has a heated hydrotherapy pool. Newly updated facilities are also available at the pool, which is located in Poictiers St and right next door to the Scott’s Park Adventure Playground.
There’s an inviting 25m, six lane lap and recreational pool waiting for you at Jerilderie Swimming Pool, as well as a wader’s pool with water fountains.

Entry to the pool is free thanks to a Murrumbidgee Council subsidisation program. The swim season runs through until Sunday, April 21, 2024.
Home to an enormous ‘floating playground’, Moama’s Aqua Island is a great opportunity to cool off and burn some energy. Located 500m east of Deep Creek Marina, the island features several jumping platforms, obstacles, and slides - all connected and floating in a large, clean, and refreshing lake – a must see for any fans of the TV show ‘Wipe Out’. Moama also boasts two perfect spots to camp and cool off this summer. Moama Beach offers visitors one of the best places to access the Murray River for swimming and recreation. Access to the area is found at the end of Blair St, Moama. Betts Beach also offers a chance to relax and take a dip, with access via Simmie Rd in Echuca.

Whether the kids are learning to swim or you’re just wanting to cool off on a hot day, there is plenty of room for all abilities.
Visitors and locals alike flock the Murray River, and particularly Town Beach, when they are in Tocumwal. But if you’re looking for something a little different, or your little ones are not a fan of the sand, the splash park on the Tocumwal Foreshore is the place to be. The features are designed to reflect Tocumwal’s proud WWII history as a US and Royal Australian Airforce Base. A B24-style dumper bucket takes pride of place, and there are water cannons, ‘propeller’ showers and more than 100 other water features. The town pool is also a short distance from the splash park, and both are located near the CBD.
The Urana Aquatic Centre is a unique and serene attraction. A man-made lake developed on the site of Urana’s original water supply reservoir, perfect for water skiing, fishing, bird watching and just about any other water activity you can think of. With the play equipment and 5km walking trail, there is plenty to do for the whole family. A perfect place to drop in a line and try your luck, the Aquatic Centre is frequently restocked with Murray cod and golden perch. The adjacent J&M Smith Flora and Fauna Reserve created in 1996 is an ideal spot for those interested in exploring the local animal and plant life, with an abundance of native birds including red-rumped parrot, brown treecreeper, striated pardalote, spiny-cheeked honeyeater, striped honeyeater, the regionally uncommon, greycrowned babbler and when the lake is flooded waterbirds flock to the area.
Visit the impressive Aquazone, a sprawling inflatable park that rests atop the natural expansive beauty of Lake Mulwala. The aquatic play area covers 10,000 metres and caters for kids five years to adults who love a fun challenge. Complete with trampolines, slides, and even a rock-climbing wall, the Aquazone at Lake Mulwala is an impressive and unique attraction. Yarrawonga’s picturesque setting along the Murray River includes a splash park that has entertainment for the whole family. Ride the waterslide, play under motion activated water features, or relax under the rotunda. There’s also a barbecue, public toilets, and shaded seating areas. It’s located on Lake Mulwala in Bank St. The splash park features spray fountains, a slide and a kiosk serving snacks and drinks.

Traditional Yorta Yorta lands lie on both sides of the Murray River, roughly from Cohuna to Wodonga, stretching north to Jerilderie and south to Euroa. They include towns such as Echuca, Shepparton, Benalla, Corowa and Wangaratta. At Barmah, Yorta Yorta Country offers up some of the best opportunities to explore the natural elements that make this country so attractions. We explore some of them here for you.
The Dharnya Centre, in Barmah National Park, is the cultural hub of the Yorta Yorta People. This special place gives the Yorta Yorta People a place to share their knowledge, teach others, celebrate and heal country. Unfortunately, the centre was damaged in the 2022 floods and has not been open to the public since then. This will hopefully change with renovations completed and an expected opening date before the end of 2024.
Starting from the Dharnya Centre, take any of the three designated walking trails through the Barmah Forest. The Yamyabuc Trail includes numerous information boards that tell some of the story of Barmah National Park as a leisurely 45 to 60-minute walk on a designated walking track. The Lake Loop Walk heads north from the Dharnya Centre, through the forest and then cuts back to the lake, over about 4.5 km. When you go out on that walk, it is like you are the only person in the world at that time, and it is just that tranquil. Since the 2022 flood event, the forest has flourished, the return of the kangaroos, emus and the bird life is just amazing, and there is a reasonable chance to see them on a walk.
There is also the Broken Creek Loop track, which heads south from the Dharnya Centre and picks up the Broken Creek, where you follow the creek Barmah back to Rice’s Bridge and then back to the Dharnya Centre via Sand Ridge Track, a walk of about 3.5 km.
If you want a unique perspective, you can book a Yamyabuc Trail Cultural Guided Walk with one of
the Yorta Yorta guides, who will share their cultural knowledge of the lands, plants and animals.
On board the Kingfisher, take in the Yorta Yorta People’s past, present and future with a 90-minute cruise along the Murray River.
From the comfort of the Kingfisher River Cruiser, you can embark on an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking landscapes - the Barmah National Park on the Victorian side of the river, and the Murray Valley National Park on the NSW side.
This immersive experience allows you to connect with the natural beauty of the river and lakes while diving deep into the rich cultural heritage of the Yorta Yorta people, the traditional custodians of this land.
As you glide along the tranquil waters, you’ll learn about the profound significance of the river and lakes to the Yorta Yorta community.
Through engaging storytelling and cultural commentary, you’ll gain insights into their history, traditions, and the sustainable practices that have been passed down through generations.
Take in the majestic scenery as you navigate through this remarkable ecosystem. The waters are alive with a vibrant array of birdlife, and you’ll have the chance to witness many different species that inhabit the lakes and river. Keep your eyes peeled for native animals that thrive in the world’s largest river red gum forest, adding to the area’s rich biodiversity.
The Barmah Lakes wetlands and Barmah National Park are Ramsar-recognised sites, home to over 200 bird species. You can follow the designated trails to witness the forest birds or walk along the edge of the Barmah Lakes and see the many and varied water bird species that frequent this majestic place. You could see the endangered superb parrot and many

Settled in 1830, Moulamein is the oldest town in the Riverina.
Its rich history is celebrated and explored at the Moulamein Heritage Village, located at 4 Patterson St.
The Moulamein Heritage Village has been open to the public for five years thanks to the efforts of a community committee. It boasts historic and period specific architecture, with buildings such as the horse stables, wool shed and a school.
These buildings hold specific ties to the area and the town itself. The wool shed in particular is a constant reminder of one of the Riverina’s biggest exports. In fact, inside the village you will be able to find plenty of old shearing gear, pieces including hand pieces, combs and cutters.
Other attractions include a Vickers ‘Aussie’ tractor, built in England and brought out to Australia in the 1930s. The tractor was built specifically for the expanding Australian market at the time. The Vicker ‘Aussie’ had been restored by owners Ron and Val McWhae.
Another highlight of the village is the stables sourced from Werai Station, just outside Deniliquin. The stable is 170 years old and was restored specifically to be included in this historic village.
Moulamein Development Committee secretarytreasurer Deidre Hindmarsh said every decision made at the village has been about preserving local history, and delivering a great visitor experience.
“The idea was to have a place to showcase Moulamein as the oldest town in the Riverina.
“There are other significant buildings in the town like the courthouse and wharf on the Edward River, so we envisage this will bring tourists to Moulamein.
“We’re enticing people off the Sturt Highway to stay a night at the caravan park, local pub or cabins, and wander or drive around the town.”
History lovers looking for a unique place to host a private function or wedding are welcome to discuss options with the village team.
The Moulamein Heritage Village is open by appointment only, and entry is $5. To arrange a visit, call 0417 276 845.

Jerilderie has been home to many influential Australians, and the JerildeRie community has banded together to pay tribute to two of the most famous.
Ned Kelly folklore is known the world over, and those who know the tale also know of the bush ranger’s siege of the town during which time he wrote the Jerilderie Letter. It’s proved to be a tourism drawcard for national and international guests over many years.
Another Jerilderie man that has been written into the world history books is General Sir John Monash – arguably, Australia’s greatest soldier.
A sculpture depicting a chance meeting between the two, when Monash was a young boy of 12 growing up in Jerilderie, was unveiled in spring 2024. It was commissioned by a committee of Jerilderie locals, and is yet another reason to stop in the town of Jerilderie for a look around.
Sir Monash was a military commander of World War I, commanding the 13th Infantry Brigade before the war, the 4th Brigade in Egypt and at the Gallipoli campaign, and then the 3rd Division on the Western Front of Europe from 1916. By 1918 he was the commander of the Australian Corps.
Before becoming an engineer and the famed wartime commander, he attended Jerilderie Public School, where he was Dux. He then went on for further education at Scotch College,
Melbourne, where he was joint Dux in his final year.
The statue depicts a young Monash accepting a shilling from Ned Kelly, as payment for holding his horse while he conducted business with Monash senior. This meeting was written about in Roland Perry’s book Monash, The Outsider Who Won A War, and was said to have taken place about a year before the raid on Jerilderie.
The sculpture project began in 2020. It was initiated by four local ladies - Irene Wells, Helen Huggins, Sue Neilan and Gwen McLaughlin - and encouraged by the late Tim Fischer, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia. Mr Fischer was adamant that something should be done to remember this piece of Jerilderie’s history. In honour of this support, Mr Fischer’s brother Dr Tony Fischer AM was invited to unveil the statue to the delight of the crowd. Another special guest at the unveiling, which also included a reenactment of the meeting between the pair, was the great-grandson of Sir John Monash, Michael Bennett.
The life size bronze statue of the meeting was created by artist Brett Garling.

Get lost in the magic of yesteryear and come and experience a rare insight into bygone ways of bygone days.
Music, market stalls, demonstrations, food, bar and exhibitors showcasing forgotten arts and tradesthat will inspire thought and appreciation. Museum open everyday 10am – 4pm (except Christmas Day)
The museum boasts more than 400 exhibits surrounded by two acres of gardens, including the largest display of pioneer agriculture machinery.
Open daily, the museum welcomes visitors from 10am to 4pm during the warmer months, and from 10am to 3pm in the cooler seasons. It only closes on Christmas Day and Good Friday. As an added bonus, every Sunday from 11am (excluding Christmas Day) you can indulge in a delightful Devonshire Tea in the Tea Room.
The museum offers a glimpse into 19th-century life. The restored Wagner’s Store is renowned for its original fittings and authentic 19th-century goods, and the living area behind the store is furnished in the original style, bringing history to life. The store had sat empty for nine years until residents, led by Margary Wehner and Catherine Clark, turned it into a museum.
The Jindera Pioneer Museum and Historical Society purchased Wagner’s Store, the residence, and the surrounding grounds and opened the museum in October 1968 to mark Jindera’s Centenary.
In addition to the store, you can explore the shop gallery, main residence, Wattle and Daub Cottage (the oldest-known cottage in the district), Marge Wehner Gallery, Huon Post Office, buggy room and machinery shed, outdoor machinery collection, Tim Fischer Working Machinery Shed, slab hut and original blacksmith.
The Jindera Pioneer Museum also hosts various engaging events throughout the year, designed to bring our community together and celebrate our rich heritage. Each event is designed to provide a unique and enjoyable experience, highlighting our museum’s history and the local community. The summer events include twilight openings in January.
Rather than exploring in the full heat of a summer’s day, pop down in the evening. You have the added advantage of live music, food, and beverages under the stars. The museum partners with local businesses to bring you this unique experience.
February’s special event is the Forgotten Trades Festival. You can celebrate and learn about traditional trades and crafts, with activities including demonstrations and hands-on activities.
Looking ahead to next season, March is when the museum hosts its Heritage High Tea. Perfect for families and friends, it allows you to delight in a traditional high tea with locally sourced delicacies.
The average viewing time at the museum is 60 to 90 minutes, but you’re welcome to stay and explore as long as you like. Entry is $10 for adults, $8 for concession and $5 for children under-16 years. Group bookings are also welcome. Get lost in the magic of yesteryear at the
