The Military History Society of NSW

As part of our Society's program of group visits to sites of military historical interest, some members visited the Army Museum of New South Wales at Victoria Barracks, Paddington, Sydney on Sunday, 18 May 2025. Parties of members were led on a fascinating tour of the barracks grounds including major buildings like the Main Barrack Block completed in 1846 and the Officers' mess, followed by a tour of the museum itself, which displays many interesting exhibits relating to military aspects of New South Wales from earliest colonial days through to overseas commitments and more recent times. We thank Major Michael Kelly, the Museum Manager, for his time and informative guide work. Below is a selection of photographs of museum exhibits taken on the day (photographing of the grounds was restricted).
