The Waltzing Matilda Centre is the only attraction in the world dedicated to a song. Self guided tours allow you to discover our 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, Waltzing Matilda, bringing the story to life during an unforgettable audio¬visual presentation that touches the hearts of those who see it – Australians and international visitors alike. The Legends Exhibition Room offers an interactive display of the history, the legend and the romance behind the song. The hologram must be seen to be believed.
