Ford Discovery Centre
If you're a bit of a car fanatic, love robots or just want to know how a car is made the Ford Discovery Centre is the place to go.
The interactive displays take you on a behind the scenes journey to discover how a car is designed, engineered and built. And yes, there are robots involved!
Australia's Ford history is also showcased, with cars from days gone by that barely resemble our modern vehicles.
From the Model T through to today's cars, the collection includes each Ford body type made in Australia.
The design area offers a rarely seen glimpse of the processes involved in bringing a new car from idea to production, including clay mockups of vehicles, colour and trim theme boards and scale models.
In the assembly line display, the robots take centre stage. You even get a chance to install an engine into a car.
And for those who like to see the insides, there are cutaway displays showing how the vehicles all really work.
