Steamtown Heritage Rail Centre

the Steamtown Heritage Rail Centre is a museum where people can sit in the historic carriages; enter the driver's cabins of the various locomotives and marvel at the rolling stock in the 1926 built roundhouse and admire the still functioning turntable what has all 3 gauges. Steamtown is ideal for families and is pet friendly also. Stay the night in Peterborough and attend the stunning sound and Light show that tells the story of the creation of Peterborough, about railways in South Australia and the history and personal stories associated with it and the linking of East Australia to West Australia

Peterborough Motorcycle & Antique Museum

Reviewed By 2018xtrail - Adelaide, Australia

Not just bikes but also other collectables. Really interesting bloke to talk to. Has one of the only remaining bikes produced locally and one owned by a member of Slade (love the 70's). Only $7 so great value. Ask him about his cars and bikes that are not on display

The Burg

Reviewed By 196jaynej - Mackay, Australia

The Burg is inside the newsagency, which is worth a look on its own. Inside the Burg is a working model train, a video and fantastic muriels covering the walls. Children would love a visit there.
