Powerstation Museum

Top choice in New South Wales


This wonderful little volunteer-run museum commemorates Tamworth's status as 'City of Light' – the first town in Australia to get electric light. Housed in a 1907 power station packed to the rafters with electrotherapy machines, early communications devices and other fascinating artefacts, its pride and joy are two working steam dynamos, one identical to that used to first deliver power to the town in 1888.
