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.

Shout out to the lovely and very dedicated volunteers at this Museum. The work and thought that has gone into the displays is obvious. Set on the now public grounds of Jezzine Barracks, the Museum provides a comprehensive account of Australia’s military history and the rolls of honour for WW1 and WW2 are just beautiful.

This museum is worth a look if you’re passing through or are in the Oakey area. Great displays, heaps to look at and knowledgeable staff. You can have a look inside a chinook which was awesome!
