Mallala Museum

Mallala Museum is a community history museum in Mallala, in the Adelaide Plains Council area of South Australia, about 58 kilometres north of Adelaide. Housed in historic buildings on Aerodrome Road, it preserves and displays the district's agricultural, social and military heritage, including artefacts from the former RAAF Base Mallala. The volunteer-run museum features local memorabilia, photographs, machinery and archives documenting settlement and rural life in the Adelaide Plains region.

Visitors can expect a small volunteer-run museum set in historic buildings on Aerodrome Road in central Mallala. Inside are rooms and sheds displaying local agricultural machinery, household items, photographs, documents, uniforms and memorabilia related to early settlement and the RAAF Base Mallala. Displays are arranged thematically with interpretive labels, and volunteers are often available to provide context. The site is compact and explored on foot at a leisurely pace.

The museum preserves the history of Mallala and the Adelaide Plains district, including its agricultural settlement from the 19th century and its significance as the site of RAAF Base Mallala, a major Royal Australian Air Force training base during World War II. Collections document local farming, community development and military aviation heritage.

The museum serves as a community heritage centre for the Adelaide Plains, maintaining local identity through preservation of photographs, archives, objects and stories contributed by district families and volunteers.
