Back Packs

Due to the nature of some displays and to difficult access and confined spaces on board Diamantina, visitors are requested to take special care with carrying/wearing back packs and large bags or to leave them with reception. Storage is a free service for museum visitors.

Food and Drink

A number of restaurants and cafes are located within the South Bank Parklands precinct, serving a huge variety of food styles. Water and other cold drinks can be purchased at the entrance counter.

Parents & Carers

A Baby Change Room is available on the ground floor of the Museum.
