Built around the original Qantas Airways hangar, QANTAS Founders Museum tells the story of Australia's airline. Its airplane collection includes the airline's first jet (a Boeing 707) and a decommissioned Qantas Boeing 747. The 707 is the sister plane of another aircraft that is now owned and piloted by Qantas Ambassador John Travolta. A special tour allows you to explore the 747, including sitting in the pilot's seat and walking on a wing. Qantas was the only airline in the world to manufacture its own planes. There is also a life-size replica of an Avro 504K and a mint-condition DH-61.

I was completely disappointed when I arrived only to find it was more of a money milking scheme then actually sharing the history and full of empty hangers.... And you have to pay extra to go into the big plane because it's a special tour. My friends and I were gutted and will not be returning or recommending the museum to anyone. On the other hand I highly recommend visiting the stockman Hall of fame on the opposite side of the road.
