The Kedron Wavell RSL Sub Branch Volunteers, along with the Liaison students from the local secondary schools around the Chermside area, had the pleasure of visiting the Australian Army Flying Museum located Bawden Boulevard (formerly Museum Dr, Oakey QLD 4401. The Australian Army Flying Museum is about 4 kilometres north of the township of Oakey & is only a short drive from the Oakey Army Aviation Centre. The museum provides an insight into Australian military aviation from historical to contemporary perspectives & is always looking to expand its history of aviation. Scott, who is a retired Army veteran of 32 years, is now one of the museum staff provided an excellent overview of the history of the aircraft on display. I was particularly impressed with the extensive knowledge & detail that Scott provided of the history of the various wars that Australian military personnel fought in from World War 1 right through to the present time. The military aircraft on display are in pristine condition with the museum staff & volunteers putting in a lot of time to ensure people that visit are provided with the best facilitated display & information. The Australian Army Flying Museum is open to the public from Tuesday through to Saturday from 10.00 am. to 3.00 pm & is free to visit. This museum is located on the ground floor level, with wheelchair access toilets onsite. There is adequate open air parking available with disabled parking close to the front entrance to the museum. Kedron Wavell RSL Sub Branch members & students were definitely impressed with the excellent display & the thinking going forward by the RSL that it could become an annual visit.

This was a great experience. Learnt so much and our 3 year old had a blast being able to actually go inside the Chinook helicopter. Staff there were also amazing and more than helpful.

Free Entry, Easy to park with plenty of static displays. Groups (with advance notice) can have a guided tour - great for kids as they allow kids to sit in the actual aircraft! Only downside is there’s no souvenirs. Lost opportunity that could help generate revenue for the museums upkeep.

Such an informative place! Free to enter. Very friendly & helpful staff. Kids colouring in area. Nice picnic area out the front.

Can not recommend highly enough. Outside of the AWM, one of the best museums for aviation I have been to (I have been to a few..). Staff were very informative and helpful, great with the kids, and plenty of interactive things for adults and kids. Massive bonus, it's free.. should at least be a gold coin donation. Thanks guys, a bloody good job

This was our 3 visit here over a number of years, we had Scotty as a tour guide, his commentary was funny at times and full of great information. Check for operational days and hours, there are no entry fees.

Interesting place to visit, cool experience to be able to climb in the back of a Chinook. Was lucky enough to see Blackhawk flying around as well
