Eidsvold: RM Williams & bush lore

Eidsvold is a small town with a big voice. The RM Williams Australian Bush Learning Centre anchors the experience with interactive exhibits, saddlery demonstrations, and a nightly light-and-sound show projected onto the homestead-style facade.

Wander the main street to find large-scale murals depicting First Nations stories, gold rush pioneers, and legendary horsemen. Finish the day cooking damper by the campfire at Wuruma Dam, a tranquil spot for anglers and kayakers.

Start at the RM Williams Australian Bush Learning Centre

The centre combines museum displays with hands-on workshops. Learn about RM’s humble beginnings in nearby foothills, browse handcrafted leatherwork, and step into the bush skills arena where school groups test their whip-cracking.

Book ahead for the nightly Son et Lumière show—soundscapes and projections bring the outback legend’s stories to life on the building’s exterior.

Allow at least two hours for the centre, including time to explore the interpretive walking trail around the grounds.

Follow murals and historic curiosities in town

Stroll past the striking street art celebrating Eidsvold’s stockmen, Indigenous heritage, and rodeo culture. Volunteers continually add new pieces, so look for QR codes linking to oral histories.

On the corner of Moreton and Cracow Streets you’ll find Alice Maslen’s 1980 hitching rail—still proudly standing as a nod to the town’s horse-loving past.

Camp or cast a line at Wuruma Dam

If time allows, extend your stay with a peaceful night at Wuruma Dam. The free camping area includes boat ramps, picnic tables, and plenty of shade. Dawn brings pelicans, corellas, and mirror-still waters ideal for paddling.

Bring your fishing gear—locals swear by the dam for golden perch and barra. Remember to pack drinking water as the site is unpowered.
