Gippsland Vehicle Collection
The Gippsland Vehicle Collection provides south east Australia with an outstanding rotating display of interesting vehicles: cars, motor-bikes, machinery, historic vehicles, carriages and auto memorabilia.
Located in the very attractive Central Gippsland rural town of Maffra, the Motor Museum is an easy three hour drive from central Melbourne along the excellent Princes Hwy. Or alternate routes can be taken around the coast, through the hills, or even over the big hill, Mt Hotham and the Alpine Way.
Maffra has long been a strong motoring centre and boasts a local hill climb track run by the Maffra & District Car Club and a Motocross track run by the Maffra Sale Motorcycle Club.
There are so many interesting and unique vehicles to see that we have a rotating theme of display vehicles for four months at a time. Our current feature displays are listed on our website. The vehicles are on loan from private collectors, mostly in Gippsland.
The massive building of around 2200 square metres was built during WW2 as a vegetable dehydrating plant to provide vegetables to our troops overseas, and has been several other factories and warehouses since then, finally falling into disrepair around 15 years ago.
The very first donation to the new museum was the 110 year old Maffra Spectator , Double Royal printing press. This 5.5 tonne, belt driven machine is now proudly displayed in our Motor Museum along with other antique printing presses and equipment as a most important part of Maffra s heritage. Bus tours and school group are welcomed and catered for. Local visitor information.
