Fun adventure for the entire family - TAVAS living early aviation display. The most unique aviation museum in Australia. The only museum in this country that concentrates solely on the first 30 years of powered flight - and houses the only collection of flying WWI type aircraft in Australia. Includes several aircraft that can't be seen anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere.

TAVAS, what a fantastic place to visit. I had expected to spend, at most an hour here. Over 2 hours later my wife phoned me asking if I had actually forgotten her. "Ah no, just so much to see and take in here." Nathalie and Andrew were both so friendly and so willing to share their knowledge of this wonderful place. I will certainly be back, when we are in Noosa for Christmas.

Wow really surprised by the Abbey Museum, the reviews sounded good so risked a 1hr drive from Brisbane to check it out. Travel back in time from British Stone Age, to Medieval times complete with armor, and then some interesting historical pieces from Egypt and Asia. The displays & information provided was excellent ! Great for everyone & worth the trip.

This light, bright museum with friendly, helpful staff is well worth a visit if you are interested in the history of the Redcliffe Peninsula. Well set out with enlightening explanations. I was very interested in the section explaining the Aboriginal history of the area.

With a group of our social club members we truly enjoyed our visit to Bribie Island Seaside Museum. The docuumentaries were very well written - actually read heaps because of the great writing style. Well laid out, heaps of history (even a replica of Matthew Flinders Black Cat :-) the Seaside Museum showcases Bribie history in modern surroundings and lovely welcome by people who worked there. Thanks you
