Thanks for the praise for our Museum!
It's pretty good and has a good range of things to show off. I got luck and had some work experience there in 2000 and got to go behind the scenes. They have plenty of great stuff in the storage areas and they do rotate it out on display now and again.
The destroyer (HMAS Vampire) is also a good tour and the sailing ship "James Craig" is a beautiful site as well. Another ship well worth looking at is MV Krait
