Gilbert's Garage was open for 116 years on this location. So when it closed it's history was too good to throw away. Volunteers, working under the Strathalbyn Tourism Association came together to create a truely remarkable museum. Unique exhibits, combine with more common memories. Our Patron, Glen Dix OAM, has donated a large portion of his personal collection of memorabilia, much much more.

Michael Finnis is passionate about cars. Former racing car driver, his passion is very infectious as he will happily spin stories of years past and his experiences. At the end of a visit, it becomes difficult to decide which was better – the cars or Michael’s reminiscing! The wide variety of vintage and restored cars are on display in a large shed with a mezzanine floor. Michael gives a personal introduction about the museum as you enter the museum, and then you are free to explore. Information about each vehicle is on display on front of the relevant car. For the young at heart, there is also a wide collection of Matchbox model cars. With a very nominal entrance fee, the time spent sharing Michael’s passion is well worth it. Whether an avid car fanatic or just someone who can appreciate past cars, you will find the time spent well worth it. Photos are permitted. Return? It is on the ever growing list and look forward to being mesmerized again by Michael’s yarns!

I personally loved the jewellery made from used coffee pods, but my partner loved the wooden bespoke furniture. They also had knitwork, lots of boutique handbags, canvas paintings, metalwork, pottery and glassblown items. The people at reception were very friendly and happily gave us information about other things to do in the area. There was no pressure to buy
