At Longreach’s Qantas Founders Museum, aircraft and hands-on displays put the early story of Australian aviation into an outback setting.
Make time for the aircraft and stories
The museum’s official visitor information (opens in a new tab) describes aircraft, exhibits and guided experiences, including the Boeing 747. Check its current seasonal opening details before building the visit into your day.
Choose an experience that suits your visit
According to Tourism and Events Queensland (opens in a new tab), the complex combines interpretive displays, historic aircraft and Airpark tours, with a night-time Luminescent Longreach experience. Pick the format that matches the time you have, and book ahead where the operator requires it.
Find the museum
Longreach Regional Council lists the Qantas Founders Museum at 1 Hudson Fysh Drive (opens in a new tab) at Longreach Airport. Allow a little extra time around the precinct if you want to take in the aircraft outdoors as well as the galleries.
