Situated at the top of Barwell Avenue, Rocky' Country Music Hall of Fame was officially opened by Slim Dusty during the 1995 SA Country Music Festival and Awards, and stands as a tribute to the late Rocky Page.
A valuable collection of musical instruments and memorabilia awaits visitors historical and country music devotees to browse through, along with a large collection of photos and cartoons depicting many of Australia's biggest names of country. The "Big Guitar" and the "Hands of Fame" are a MUST SEE feature, displaying the hand prints of famous International and Australian artists such as Slim Dusty, Smoky Dawson, Reg Lindsay and Buddy Williams, along with over 190 other noted local entertainers.
