Vehicle collection
The main part of the Museum's large vehicle collection encompasses hand drawn, horse drawn and motorised appliances dating from the late 18th century up to the 21st century. Many of the great names in the automotive and fire fighting industries from Australia and all over the world are represented in this collection.
