Standing proudly on Main Road, Romani Hall serves as a moving tribute to Australia’s legendary Light Horse regiments and their vital role in military history. This community space preserves the proud legacy of local horsemen who served with distinction.

Inside You’ll Discover:
• Memorabilia honouring the 2/14th Ilfracombe Light Horse Troop
• Historical displays chronicling their service in both the Boer War (1899-1902) and World War I (1914-1918)
• Artifacts celebrating the skill and courage of these mounted infantry men

The hall’s name itself pays homage to the Battle of Romani (1916) – a decisive Light Horse victory in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign that helped turn the tide against the Ottoman forces.
