Corrective Services NSW Museum

Reviewed By 4micallefs

We loved the museum. Gold coin donation....worth a bit more so chuck in some extra dollars. A correctional officer from the actual prison next door was on duty today and gave us a great insight into the lives of the prisoners both in the medium security complex the museum is connected to, as well as the minimum security prison ‘The Farm’ up the road. It was fascinating to to see some glimpses of past and present prison conditions in NSW. The actual ‘Trojan Horse’ used in a 1994 escape was pretty cool, as was bullet proof glass from Super Max and although grim....the collection of confiscated contraband was such an eye opener. Souvenir shop contains mountains of craft and hand made products from the inmates. At the end....the gallows....actual gallows. Crazy!

Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre and Cafe

The Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre and cafe showcases the amazing history of the Snowy Mountains Scheme; from the early days of construction through to how it is operated by Snowy Hydro today. This is a must for any visitor to the Snowy Mountains region! The Centre houses a comprehensive exhibition hall including an extensive photographic collection, models, hands-on exhibits and a one of a kind immersive theatre. You will find information about the Scheme such as engineering, the environment, the National Electricity Market, history, water management and power generation. Take your turn on the “power bikes” and see if you can peddle hard enough to power a TV, make some toast or boil a kettle. You will also find screens displaying the Scheme working in real time. See which generators are operating, how much electricity they are producing and the prices of electricity in the market. Stay for a while, have a barista made coffee and light refreshments at the Discovery Centre Cafe.

Excellent Discovery Centre - showing 2 films, both very worthwhile and informative, combined with an excellent display. Learn about the exciting new Snowy 2.0 project. I spent a very enjoyable morning learning and revisiting memories. Staff knowledgeable, helpful and friendly and together with a Cafe making a great coffee - what more could you ask for.
