Alexandrina automotive museums

The Alexandrina Region in South Australia does not have any specific automotive museums, unlike the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, New South Wales. The Powerhouse Museum is a collection of museums primarily located in Ultimo, New South Wales, showcasing various technological innovations and industrial heritage, although not specifically focused on automotive history.

Another notable museum in Australia with automotive connections is the National Museum of Australia in Canberra, home to the Birtles and the Sundowner car. This car, driven by adventurer Francis Birtles in the 1920s, set records in overland car journeys and was later preserved by the Australian Government at the National Museum. After comprehensive conservation work in the late 1990s, the car is now on display at the museum.

In the Alexandria suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, there is a rich industrial heritage, characterized by the presence of factories, foundries, and workshops built between the 1930s and 1960s.
