So we’re on the way up to Deniliquin to spend Christmas with the family when a thought popped into my head “hang on, isn’t there a sports museum up here that has the [netball] dress of Sharalle McMachon?”

So, we eventually figured it out that it was at the Rochester Sports Museum, housed in the old station building and I have to say nothing but wow!

For the bargain price of $5, this gets you admission to a small sample of sporting memorabilia belonging to the late John Forbes. You are ushered into a small viewing room to be shown a 15 minute video which gives you his life story (no spoilers from me!), before you are let loose in the room containing the items of collection which are currently on show.

Baring in mind there’s a lot in storage; it’s an amazing collection that has items that will make you go wow!

It’s certainly worth a viewing that’s for certain- here’s some pictures!
