Always worth the stop when travelling North. Interesting to see the history of the area that is reflected in the museum.

Excellent stop on the trip north with a great cafe. The Museum is really interesting to look through whilst you take a break

Great rest stop when travelling North. The museum tells about the community that first settled here. Quite interesting. This is free and they have a cafe and clean rest rooms. Plenty of parking and nice spot to recharge when travelling.

If touring the coast of New South Wales, you may be interested in the New Italy Museum located on the Pacific Highway. We were touring north from Grafton to Ballina, and this provided a welcome rest stop with a picnic area and toilets.

The museum itself explores the story of the New Italy settlement in Northern NSW Australia. Admission to the Museum Complex is free, open 7 days a week from 9am to 4pm. There are many features and artifacts to see that represent the achievements and accomplishments of the past and present by the New Italy community.

There is also a cafe on site named 'New Italy Caffe' that sell a range of cakes, espresso coffee and an extensive lunch menu, all provided in a relaxing alfresco setting.
