Established in 1992 by a group of like-minded, passionate motoring enthusiasts, the Illawarra Motoring Museum, later renamed The Australian Motorlife Museum, offers a unique insight into not only Australia’s motoring history but life in general from the early 1900s.

A wide range of motorised vehicles and related memorabilia is housed in our secure, fully enclosed 3000 square metre, single-level building with easy wheelchair access. The space is home to thousands of unique exhibits, including the famous Paul Butler collection as well as the NRMA historic motoring museum.

The Australian Motorlife Museum is perfect for singles, families or groups. We are located only 10 minutes south of Wollongong, just off the M1 Motorway at Kembla Grange. The grounds include a large picnic and BBQ area, a children’s playground and other facilities.

The museum is staffed by dedicated, passionate volunteers who work tirelessly to restore, maintain and expand the collection with new pieces added regularly.

We hope to see you soon! 🙂
