Hay Prisoner of War and Internment Camp Interpretive Centre

'Us and them'

Housed in two railway carriages, the museum tells the story of the camps in Hay where the 'Dunera boys', and Japanese and Italian prisoners of war, were held during World War II.

Coins pressed for the Hay POW camp

Photographs, exhibits and music bring the experiences of the townsfolk and the internees to life.

The Interpretive Centre exhibits are displayed in two restored train carriages at the Hay Railway Station in Murray St.
