Waltzing Matilda Centre - More than Just a song

If there is one song that lives in the hearts of all Australians, it's Waltzing Matilda.
The song, written by A. B. 'Banjo' Paterson in 1895, has played a significant part in defining the Australian character. Waltzing Matilda inspires the Australian spirit.

The Waltzing Matilda Centre is inspired by the song embraced by the Australian people as their unofficial national anthem. The Waltzing Matilda Centre uses today's technology and interactive displays to interpret the song, our history and what it is to be Australian.

The only attraction in the world dedicated to a song; self-guided tours allow you to discover this amazing attraction at your own pace.
The introduction to the complex is the Billabong Theatrette where the ghost in the billabong tells his story of the poem, bringing the story to life during an unforgettable audio-visual presentation that touches the hearts of those who see it.

Other facilities of the centre include the Qantilda Museum, Home of the Legends Exhibition Room, Coolibah Café, an accredited Visitor Information Centre; Westpac In-Store Bank, the Station Store and the Outback Regional Gallery and Foyer with new exhibitions every six to eight weeks.
The Waltzing Matilda Centre is open seven days a week and can be contacted by phone on 1300 665 115 or (07) 4657 1466 or by emailing waltzing@matildacentre.com.au.
