This intriguing collection of over 30,000 items is the result of one man's dream and 40 years of dedication. Owner Gerald Rhodes was employed by International harvester before going into his own car and truck wrecking business. Naturally enough he found himself in the right places to pick up bargains. But it also required many years at auctions, flea markets and garage sales, as well as responding to newspaper adverts and word-of-mouth tip-offs to bring together a fascinating range of items.

Don't miss seeing this unique and fascinating collection that has grown to over 30,000 items, the Wanaka Transport and Toy Museum is one of the largest private displays in the Southern Hemisphere. It is a varied collection – from tiny children's toys, including a huge range of Barbie Dolls, to unusual motorcycles and rare cars, trucks, fire appliances and aircraft. The Wanaka Transport and Toy Museum will surprise and delight, with something for everyone.
