VISIT CABOOLTURE WARPLANE MUSEUM 7 DAYS:

Drive 50 minutes north from Brisbane or south from the Sunshine Coast and you’ll be in the Moreton Bay region, home to the Caboolture Warplane Museum, Queensland’s only operational warplane museum, where you can fly in a warplane. The museum was set up in 1995 to promote the history of military and civil aviation to the wider community and is dedicated to preserving and publicly displaying artefacts from Australian Aviation History, with particular reference to WW11 and Vietnam. It’s an important role honouring our pioneering and heroic aviators and educating new generations on the developments in machinery and technology that has brought them to the world they know today.

Aircraft on display are a MK IV Kittyhawk, North American T-6 Texan, 1931 De Havilland Gipsy Moth. Housed in a separate hangar and available for adventure flights, are the CAC Wirraway and North American Trojan. The museum portrays a dedicated Tribute Room for women in aviation throughout WW11. The museum guarantees over an hour of interesting learning for visitors with uniforms, a Bren Gun Carrier, Bofors Gun, operating search light, Taylor monoplane, F111 aircrew escape module and a full sized Iroquois helicopter.

The Museum is open 7 days a week between the hours of 9:00am and 3:00pm with the exception of Good Friday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. There is plenty of parking available at the front of the museum as well as seating within the hangar space.
