Over a hundred years ago, on Roma's Hospital Hill, a drilling crew was boring for water when, suddenly, the unexpected happened: 'Strewth, it's gas!' exclaimed a surprised driller as gas, mud and water gushed out of the well. With this event, quite by accident, Australia's oil and gas industry was born.The Big Rig celebrates the unique history of Australia's oil and gas industry, collecting together intriguing stories, photos, facts and objects, in a variety of fascinating multi-media exhibits.The Big Rig also houses the accredited Roma Visitor Information Centre where you can pop in to get all the information you need on things to see and do whilst in the region.
