TAVAS Aviation Museum

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.

Travel back in time to ancient and classical worlds inside the treasure house of 500,000 years of human history. View Abbey Church’s 13th century medieval stained glass collection, and historical jewelry and artefacts from Europe’s Renaissance period and industrial revolution.

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.

Reviewed By natalies156 - Brisbane, Australia

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

Caboolture Warplane Museum

Reviewed By Speedwaystars - Biggar, United Kingdom

Took a trip along here as it was absolutely pouring down with rain and we were looking for something to do. When we entered I didn't think we'd be there for long. However once we had paid our entry and met Trevor it was over 3hrs before we left! Trevor was a great host and showed us around the place explaining everything as we toured around. Not just Trevor, but all members of the volunteer staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I was surprised to see an airworthy Chipmonk aircraft, something I flew as an Air Cadet 40 years ago back in Scotland. I even had the pleasure of assisting the staff, take it from the hanger and see it start up. There was also a Barbie and a raffle (think that's only on Tuesdays) in which we won a bottle of Red Wine. All in all a great way to spend a few hours on a very wet day.
