The Australian Pinball Museum is an interactive museum of pinball in Nhill, Australia. It is home to more than 150 machines manufactured between the early 1930s and present day,[1] including a 1931 Baffle Ball.[2]
The museum displays around 50 machines at a time,[3] and showcases a large amount of original pinball ephemera across its walls.[4]
The museum is attached to the Nhill Oasis Motel, both run by Lyndon Carter and his father Simon.[5]
The traffic for the museum is predominately travelers passing through to and from Melbourne/Adelaide,[6] locals of the area, and pinball enthusiasts from across the country.[2]
History
[edit | edit source]The Oasis Motel was purchased in 2008 by the Carter family.[7]
Starting in 2016, Lyndon converted the family motel's business center[2] into the museum. The machines were the collection from Simon's years routing machines as an arcade operator supplying arcade games and pinball machines to local pubs and businesses.[8]
Events
[edit | edit source]The Australian Pinball Museum hosts monthly tournaments on the last Saturday of each month.[3][2][9]
By 2025, the museum had held over 50 International Flipper Pinball Association (IFPA) events[10] allowing over 144 first time IFPA players to compete.[10]
