The National Road Transport Hall of Fame is an Australian transport museum in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, owned by the Road Transport Historical Society[1][2] and opened in 1995.[3] The Old Ghan Heritage Railway and Museum, which the society also operates, is on the adjoining site.[4]
As a community-based volunteer organisation, the museum is dedicated to preserving Australia's road transport heritage. Many forms of road transport – from camel trains of old to road trains and coaches of today – are displayed.[1]
The museum has taken what it calls a lateral approach to the restoration of vehicles: instead of showing them in off-the-production-line condition, they stand as they were in their working lives, including the pragmatic, often crude, modifications that bush mechanics had to undertake in Australia's harsh outback working environment; "testimony to the trials and tribulations of Australia's road transport industry pioneers".[1]
In July 2019 the Government of the Northern Territory appointed an administrator while the society worked to achieve regulatory compliance.[5][6]Template:Update inline
