Australian Railway Monument and Rail Journeys Museum

In Werris Creek, 45km southwest from Tamworth, you'll find this touching memorial to Australian rail-workers who've lost their lives on the job. Next door, in a beautifully-preserved station-house dating to 1885 (when the town was a major rail junction) you'll find a great volunteer-run railway museum. Pride of place in the evolving collection is a model of the town's railway network in its glory years.
