Trafalgar Holden Museum — Attraction in Trafalgar

Yesterday 8th July 2025 I visited Trafalgar's Holden Museum in the company of a Frenchman. I have owned two Holden's and so was fairly familiar with Holden's story, but the French tourist knew practically nothing about Australia's storied car brand. We were both blown away by this display of Holden cars stretching all the way back to 1948 and the manner in which the Holden story is told. The museum gives a fascinating insight into a manufacturing industry now lost. My French guest was incredulous at how an Australian company that lead the world in auto engineering would end up ceasing car manufacturing.

I cannot recommend highly enough. Gob smacked at the range and quality of original vehicles on display when we visited on Friday 10th May - and very friendly team/volunteer who walked both of us through as we all compared notes. A must for anyone who has ever owned a Holden, or had one in their family (most of Australia....) but even if a bit one eyed to another brand I we would still highly recommend for anyone with a pulse interested in cars. I might add some of the displays were a huge surprise - not just whole cars. A brand new 'red motor"? Some of Brockies cars? Commodore 'clay' models and exhibits? Mannnn. Just go, dont drive past like we did for years....
