BIG GOLDEN GUITAR & WAX MUSEUM & GUITAR MUSEUM
Museum featuring a collection of guitars once owned by Australian and international stars (Brooks & Dunn...)
Access to the museums is via the Visitor Center.
The Big Golden Guitar. The Big Golden Guitar is a replica of the award presented each year to the winner of the CMMA (Country Music Awards of Australia) at the Country Music Festival. It stands 12 m high and was designed in 1988 to honour Slim Dusty, one of Australia's greatest country singers. At the foot of the Golden Guitar, the Big Golden Tourist Centre is first and foremost a CD and DVD store, but also a souvenir shop, most of which features hits by the Festival's big winners.
Wax Museum. Founded in 1983, this museum moved to its current location in 1988 to be inaugurated by the great Slim Dusty himself. The museum features lifelike look-alikes of some of Australia's most influential country music personalities. You'll discover (or recognize) Smoky Dawson, Jimmy Little, Chad Morgan, Beccy Cole and many others in this great family attraction. Of course, they're all dressed in their best and ready to take a selfie with you.
National Guitar Museum. With a particular focus on rock and country, the collection is made up of guitars (original or replica) that have mostly belonged to Australian and/or international stars: Smoky Dawson, Brian May (Queen), Tommy Emmanuel, Paul Stanley (Kiss), Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Rogers, The Eagles... and many others.
