Fire up for Australia Day with free Museum entry

Make the most of your commute to Australia Day at the Lakes with a free pass to the Museum of Fire.
The Museum houses Australia's leading collection of fire collectibles and displays. The curators are intimate with their subject matter, many being fire-fighters themselves.
Visitors will delight in the history of fire-fighting, tracing the evolution of the fire engine or even enjoying a ride in one.
The Museum of Fire will be open free of charge on Australia Day from 9am to 5pm. Free parking for the Australia Day event will also be available at the Museum of Fire from 1.30pm to 10pm. A free shuttle bus service will operate from 1pm to 10pm between the northern side of Penrith Station via the Museum of Fire to the Sydney International Regatta Centre.
