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.

While visiting a friend, she told me that on the last Sunday of each month, there is an open day for the Centre - free! I just had to see it as I had served with the RAAF in Amberley. The base has changed so much since I lived there - much larger, many new buildings and the noisy FIII aircraft no longer in service frightening the local koala population. But there is an FIII at the front gate and another at the Centre. They are huge. Getting into the Centre via the back gate was a bit more circuitous than I thought necessary, however, it did give me a chance to view what had been my home for a short while. Ample parking was available but a few hundred metres from the Centre, although it appeared special arrangements can be made for those with mobility issues. A number of RAAF Reserve and volunteers is available at the Centre to guide and answer questions about the impressive collection of militaria. Kids seemed to be having fun hopping into a few aircraft models with which they could play, pulling switches and a helicopter collective no doubt imaging themselves flying over their houses or schools. It brought back many memories for me and reminded me that I was once young. If you are in the area, do visit, but my recommendation is that you download the Public Open Day Application available from the site and complete it before you get there (unless you're good at writing while you drive). You need photo ID for those over 16 and dash cams aren't permitted to operate in the area.
