The Broadmeadows Historical Society runs guided tours of five pioneer cemeteries across the City of Hume, with the 2025 edition listed as the second tour of that year.

These outings focus on sites such as Will Will Rook and Bulla Cemetery and draw on records held at the Broadmeadows Historical Museum. The museum itself maintains a research library covering local settlement, the former Glenroy airport and the Broadmeadows military base.

Scheduled Openings and Race Meetings

The museum opens Mondays from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and keeps shorter hours on weekends. The Meadows greyhound racing venue schedules Group 1 races every Wednesday afternoon and Saturday evening throughout the year, with dining offered on Saturday nights.

Broadmeadows Valley Park and Jacana Reserve supply marked trails and open lawns for walks and picnics. Additional nearby spots include Broadmeadows Town Park, the Broadmeadows Remembrance Memorial and Johnstone Street Reserve playgrounds.

Practical Steps for Visitors

Details on tour dates and museum access appear on the Broadmeadows Historical Society pages at broadmeadowsmuseum.org.au. Race schedules and park maps are listed on the venue and council sites referenced in local listings.

Residents planning outings can check those pages for current times before heading out, especially for the limited weekend museum hours or the regular mid-week and weekend race sessions.
