The National Road Transport Museum, located just south of Alice Springs, houses an extensive collection of road vehicles that tell the story of transport in Australia's remote interior. Exhibits include vintage trucks, mail coaches, road trains, and buses that once plied the dusty tracks of the outback. Visitors can climb aboard some vehicles, see restored engines, and explore displays on road building and the famous Birdsville Track. The museum also features a large collection of memorabilia, including signage and photographs, offering a hands-on look at the evolution of road transport in harsh conditions.
