 Located on Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia - a popular tourist location - the Museum was officially opened by the Victorian Premier, Mr Steve Bracks MP on the 9th March 2007. From it's initial concept - a Land rover and trailer touring Australia - equipment, photos and stories were donated and added to the collection.

The National Vietnam Veterans Museum is the only Museum of its kind in Australia that covers a specific period in Australia's military history. The collection of around 6000 artefacts exists to permanently record Australia's longest commitment to any war, a period of 10 years that spanned from 1962 to 1972.

It presents the story of Australia's military involvement at a time of deep division among the Australian population over conscription. The Museum is of great historical and cultural significance for Australians of all ages and also provides a nostalgic meeting place for Veterans and their families.

The Penguin Parade experience is sure to be the highlight of your visit. As the sun fades in the sky, the little Penguins waddle up the beach to the safety of their homes in the sand dunes. Witness this magical procession - it is a treat never forgotten
