Queensland Air Museum - Aviation Museum Sunshine Coast
The Queensland Air Museum, also known as the Aviation Museum Sunshine Coast, is a heritage museum that showcases an impressive collection of restored historic planes and offers informative exhibits on aviation history. The museum boasts a diverse range of aircrafts on display, with most being sheltered for visitors to enjoy in any weather condition. It is operated by passionate volunteers who are dedicated to passing on their knowledge and love for aviation to future generations.
Had a great afternoon here, went on an Open Cockpit day, it was great fun looking at the old aircraft and actually getting inside some of them.
There are plenty of aircraft to see here and it is one of the largest air museums in the Southern Hemisphere.
The family deal is good $$ value.
There is food available to buy, and a seated area to eat if you byo lunch.
The volunteer staff were very helpful and provided interesting information about the aircraft.
A fun afternoon even if you aren't into aircraft that much.

Great way to spend 1-2 hours. Variety of aircraft on display. Most of the aircraft are undercover, so it's an all weather activity. Even if you're not an enthusiast, it's still an interesting experience.

Great spot for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike! The Queensland Air Museum offers a unique glimpse into the aircraft used during the 20th-century wars, with a focus on planes and helicopters. Though not the largest museum, it provides an intimate experience where you can explore at your own pace.
Being able to see inside four airplanes is a special treat. Perfect for those seeking something different for their weekend activities.
We brought our 7-year-old daughter along, and she found it fascinating. Highly recommended for a family day out or anyone interested in aviation history!

Really interesting little place near Caloundra. A lot more aircraft than I expected. The volunteers are great and have first hand experience and knowledge about some of the vehicles. Great rainy day activity as many of the planes are under cover.

This museum is awesome and the Volunteers (Ladies and Gentlemen ) are all very knowledgeable. It brought back memories as a 9year old on my first flight in a DC3 IN 1960 from Roma to Brisbane or Gold Coast not sure. This Saturday will be awesome with engine stars, and Guest speakers from Women in Aviation don't miss this.

Fantastic place and we were lucky enough to have a volunteer come and help show us around and give us some amazing history on the aircraft and just how the place in general operates.
Even managed to take us into a few that were off limits unless you had someone from the place with you. Didn't rush us, let the kids sit in the seats etc... Can't speak highly enough, well worth every cent

Have driven past the sign for the museum for years when up on holidays and never had a chance to visit until now. Very impressive collection of planes and so many more than we expected to see. Super impressed with information provided about each aircraft. How nice to see all the volunteers there who are passionate about aviation and passing it on to the next generation. It was a fascinating visit. A treasure for the state of Queensland. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic aviation museum with some very rare and special aircraft. Very wide range of displays all with excellent and well-presented information. Staffed by very knowledgeable and friendly ex-RAAF volunteers who lived and breathed these aircraft. A really good visit.

Stumbled across this while using google maps. Small, but detailed little aircraft museum. All sorts of things to see and read here. Definitely worth a visit if you like planes and history

I'm a secret aviation enthusiast. I admire the dedication of aviators past, present and future. I especially admire the volunteers who support this facility but hope that one day soon someone could come to the aid, financially, of this establishment, to preserve Australia's proud aviation history.
My favorite has got to be the Ventura bomber, flown by both Aussie and Kiwi pilots in WW2, to think it was salvaged from being a chicken coop on a farm...
Andrew Karl — Google review
Great place to visit to learn about Australian aviation. With 90 different aircraft on display to examine, and being able to go inside the aircraft, good signage and literature and some very knowledgeable guides, some who even flew these amazing aircraft. Definitely a worthy place to visit. The children will love it.

A fantastic collection of over 80 military and civilian aircraft.
Knowledgeable and passionate volunteers run this place and do a great job.
An enthusiast could spend hours here but this museum would be enjoyed by a wide range of people. We spent 3 hours and loved it.
Highly recommended 👌🏼

This is a great museum with lots of experiences such as the Boeing 737-800 simulator, (to experience this you must be over the age of 14). And an experience on Microsoft Flight Simulator, (you must be over the age of 13 to experience this).
When you first come in, on top of the entrance inside, the will be the Qantas logo evolution, near the counter, there is plane models, aviator glasses and more.
Inside, you also have a F 1-11 parked inside, and above you, there will be small turboprops, also inside there are plane models on display.
Once you go outside, there will be a speaker which is playing Live Air Traffic Control from Brisbane Airport, (I don’t know which comms).
Then you have many planes like an old Swearingen Metroliner, and the hangar is the biggest part of the museum, including an old Australian DC3.

This is well worth a visit. I spent a good three hours here. the collection of commercial and military aircraft is excellent. Every piece of equipment has a story and history attached to it. The volunteers who run the guided tours are in the main Pilots or have served in the aviation history. The day my wife and I visited we had the pleasure of a personal guided tour by a retired Qantas Captain who flew 747s for 35 years or so and the last six years A380s. His knowledge was priceless. The entry fees are very affordable, if anything inexpensive for the detailed experience. We are retired couple and our entry fee was $18 each, not much more if you are not. Attached is a small sample of what is available to see.

Very important part of our aviation history. We visited with our car club and were treated to a guided tour. I was saddened to learn that these guy's are all volunteers and get no state or federal government funding or support. The efforts that go into the displays are amazing. Highly recommend a visit to museum.

We came for the planes, trains and automobiles day and it was excelent. Surprisingly a large turn out. The staff are so nice and keen to offer their knowledge. Enjoyed my visit and would recommend to anyone including kid's. F11 on display is a highlight for a Brisbaner who loves river fire.

Awesome collection of aviation history, including a recently retired F111! As an aviation geek, I loved it, but my family also really enjoyed it. The Mig-15 was a cool surprise to see as well.
Great work by the volunteers who help to maintain the collection.
Bulcock Beach is a renowned tourist destination that offers low-tide splash pools, crystal-clear blue waters, and a boardwalk. Visitors can indulge in various water sports or simply bask in the sun for relaxation. The beach also boasts numerous nearby cafes and restaurants that cater to different dining needs. In addition to the waterfront location, there are many accommodation options available for visitors seeking comfort during their stay.
Nice place to spend the day with access to surf beach or more tranquil waters, whatever takes your fancy. People fish off the esplanade further along and there's food places there too. Car park will get full quickly as it's small but there's a decent toilet block there. Good sized playground for the littler ones there also. Wheelchair accessible with ramp down to the sand. When it's low tide you can walk across to the tip of Bribie Island.

Bulcock Beach on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, is nothing short of paradise! Our visit left us in awe, and we can't help but give it a solid five-star rating.
This stunning stretch of coastline offers everything you could dream of in a beach destination. Crystal-clear waters, powdery white sand, and gentle waves make it an ideal spot for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports.
One of the standout features of this beach is its family-friendly atmosphere. The calm waters and a dedicated swimming area make it perfect for kids, providing peace of mind for parents. The playground nearby is an added bonus, ensuring that the little ones stay entertained.
The boardwalk is another highlight, offering picturesque views and access to charming cafes and restaurants. It's a great place to take a leisurely stroll and soak in the coastal beauty. We particularly enjoyed the fresh seafood offerings at the nearby eateries—nothing beats the taste of fish and chips by the beach!
In summary, Bulcock Beach is a five-star destination that has something for everyone. Whether you're a beach lover, a family looking for a safe and enjoyable day out, or a couple seeking a romantic day out, this Sunshine Coast gem will not disappoint. We can't wait to return!

This beach is such a beauty. I rarely swim coz I fear of rips but this beach doesn’t have any waves. The view is very beautiful and have wide places to choose to lay your mat on and have a picnic day. Don’t forget to bring some cover as the sun is strong especially in summer.
Parking space can be challenging on weekends and holidays but there’s a free parking building just a fee meters from the beach. 😊😅

Beautiful board walk along the water front with lovely green space, bbq areas and public toilets, all well maintained and clean. Further along you will find cafes and restaurants which are animal friendly and good for children with play areas all within 50metres. A great area to spend the day, but be sure to pack sun screen.

Great place for relaxing and suntanning. It is also good to come here for a swim. Good walk along the beach, and there are many nice restaurants around this area. But we are here today for the sunset, and the view is simply stunning. You can see many people relax on the grass and enjoy the view during sunset time.

Amazing soft sand. This is a patrolled beach and sheltered from wind and waves at the northern end of the Pumicestone Passage.
Great choice for families, or when the weather is a little more enthusiastic than you'd like on the larger seafront beaches.

The Caloundra Street Fair is a weekly market that features a variety of products such as handmade crafts, clothing, food trucks and live entertainment. It opens later in the day to accommodate nearby shops but offers plenty of stalls with unique items such as candles, homewares and dog treats. The event embraces creativity with beautiful flower sculptures on display. Although slightly costly, visitors can find high-quality goods made by businesses at the fair while enjoying its dog-friendly atmosphere and easy parking.
I would have to say that the Caloundra Street Fair Markets are the best markets l have seen. I spent in total $814.54 supporting the different stall holders. The quality of the different items purchased was of the highest standard one could wish for. From the best barista's serving coffees from Nelipot Coffee Jaryd and Dan the bushranger man to the German bratwurst sausages with sauerkraut and onion on a bread roll and beside that stall the one that made the small pancakes. Think you were given 12 pancakes to which l added 2 scoops of strawberries and maple syrup and 2 scoops of icecream
To my collection I added marinades and sauces from Chilli Punk and from memory around 7 different curry pastes from the curry man. Then to Ocean Art where l spent $520 out of my total expenditure. Well done to all the varied stall holders at Caloundra Street Fair Markets.
Kindest regards Brian Saunders.

Love these markets, I just wish they started earlier! But I guess the shops along side them like to be open too. There's a great range of markets here ranging from candles, homewares, dog treats and food. Love.how they close the st off and it's not too hard to find parking.

Caloundra Street Fair have really stepped it up lately the quality of the stalls is so much better, way more well-presented than they used to be with lots gorgeous, interesting products I find myself spending so much more time (and money haha) there great spot to go if your looking for a cute gift idea. Love that they also have fresh fruit & veg, flowers and lots of great food stalls. If you haven’t been in a while definitely go and check it out, they also have more shade and seating down there now.

It's actually a pretty good street fair because there's a wide variety of stalls from food to clothing to jewellery to household items/trinkets, lotions and potions, sunglasses, chutney, salami. And it's well laid out, just wander up and down and take your time and in a couple of hours you've seen it all. Also some of the neighbouring shops are open too which can be handy - toy shop, ice cream, swimwear, etc.

The Sunday Caloundra Street Fair is such a fun place to visit. Loads of great street foods and a large array of just about anything you can think of to purchase from local venders.
Buskers to entertain you and most shops along the strip are also open, and then you have the beach and esplanade just a short walk away. Truly a great place to visit

Sadly we didn't think much of the street fair markets. Not sure if it was due to the weather or not, but not many stalls more food than anything. Surfers is way better. Even if it's rain they have the markets going. But here in Caloundra we were extremely disappointed and were expecting better. We weren't the only ones who were disappointed. Heaps of other people were disappointed.
Awesome ground and facilities here, well priced food and drinks also.

This is a five star venue with a two star performance for their handling of the Caloundra Cup. We were booked into a Members' area where we were expecting food. They gave us two tokens worth $15 each, and we had to line up at food trucks with 30-40 other people in the outer. Disgraceful. We went for the races not to line up for 30 mins for food. Also... the only white wine at the area we were given was Oxford Landing. As a South Australian who visited this Track, that is also Disgraceful. It's a $4 bottle of wine, being passed off as Premium wine.
This is a class venue with poor decisions made on catering for the Caloundra Cup. Shameful.
It would not stop me going to the races there again but I would be very wary of buying any of their catering packages.

A wonderful day out here. It Sunday meeting in winter and we thought we would check it out. When we arrived there was be plenty of parking and there were a few ticket boxes open so there was only a short wait at the gate then thru the turnstiles into the course. The place was spotless and the gardens where tropical and beautifully kept. There were lots of viewing areas for the general public which was us. Tables chairs and umbrellas were down on the grass trackside and teared seating all around the parade ring.
We decide to sit on the top viewing area which there was plenty of tables and chairs (which you can book) under cover with views of the large course viewing replay screens, parade ring and finish line. The outdoor bars, cafe toilets TAB and bookies were also on this level. We had a few beers and wines some lovely fresh sandwiches and pies during the day. We put on a couple of bets and won a small Quaddie. One of the better courses we have been too. Impressed recommend

Please fix the food, it is awful. There are not many dishes on tables considering the amount of patrons at the races. Tapas is just not that hard. Everything does not need to be fried. Hire a chef, not short order cooks. Has anyone in management eaten every dish on the menu? No, they should.

We were greeted by a lovely staff member named Dan at the entry, who showed us where to go to line up for a dining table and then for the function entry. It's a huge club, with multiple lounge and dining spaces for people to hang out.

The business center in Downtown Caloundra has an exceptional team that provides outstanding, collaborative, and timely support. Their approach is both proactive and innovative. The shopping precinct offers a decent variety of stores, although it may not be as upscale as others within a ten-kilometer radius. However, parking might be limited. Downtown Caloundra is a great place to explore and discover as a local tourist. Additionally, Dld Discounts offers an impressive selection of homewares.

Great wee piece of history. $2 to go up the top. It was open only the 2nd and 4th weekend of each month it said from memory I believe, as it's managed kindly by volunteers. It's closed during covid. I feel like its a great piece of history and worth a short amount or time to see and appreciate it for what it is.

Great views and lovely history. The gardens are kept well and are worth a walk. They are heritage listed and something interesting to see.

Closed due to Covid 19. They are a long way from the coast so the views from the ground are non existent. Surrounded by houses and apartments and not at all what I expected. I wouldn't bother until they reopen.

It's worth having a look you won't be disappointed, it's a small hill to climb.

Walking around and discovering Caloundra, I stumbled the historic lighthouse. This in good condition surrounded by a little garden, and a brief history of the lighthouse. Brief visit.

Lovely view. Can see Glass house mountains to west and beaches to east. Would be great to go up in light house but it is locked. Interesting to read who were the lighthouse keepers. Car park.

Nice little spot to visit. There is also a geo cache near by. Make sure you go on Saturday when it’s open.
A beautiful place to experience the calm of the sea breeze and the endless ocean with mystical views. Part of the Sunshine Coasts coastal walk. Toilets are found at Kings Beach. Parking is next to the park and along the coastal path.

Had a barbeque at the park today. Was a nice simple clean park with great views of the ocean.
No play equipment at this park. It appears to have a memorial of some kind (sorry, didn't get a closer look). But it has a couple of tables and public barbeques. The council has done a great job upkeeping this park. The tables were in good condition, the hotplates were very clean and the barbeque started up first time and heated quickly.

Very nice walk for those wishing to pay respects, learn about some military history or simply enjoy the fantastic view. Parking can be highly competitive depending on time of year and time of day. Nice beaches and restaurants within walking distance if you want to make a day of it.
Great aussie bush park, plenty of old native trees, stagnant pond with a great bench seat to relax

Nice natural bushland that was gifted to council. The bad news is that proposed upgrade to road will encroach on this beautiful bird & native plant habitat.

Huge wilderness of paths, ponds flora and fauna and often fairly deserted. Bbq and toilets at Queen St entrance. Some storm damage to trees and paths as of February 7th 2020 but council parks staff have almost completed clearing debris.

Good park. We found tables and BBQs.
Parking is its greatest downfall.
I can not understand building great parks, especially for family gatherings, with very little parking. The locals must hate having cars parked higgly piggly everywhere on their, ever so narrow roads

Always a favourite with the kids plus cafe and coffee! Playground has so much different equipment for all ages, and great for small birthday parties. There is a grassed area too plus a small bike track.

◾️Fall potential. This play structure has the potential for a small child to fall well over 3 meters.
◾️Access to structure. Any crawling or walking child can access the fall site by simply walking up a ramp.
◾️Grab rail. A grab rail is located along the ramp, but it is insufficient. Small children would simply walk under the rail & fall down 3 meters.
◾️I have personally seen a child under the age of 3 swinging on the grab rail, with their legs dangling over a 3 meter fall. No parent in sight.
◾️Safety panels or adequate grab rails need to be installed here as a matter of urgency before someone is killed or permanently injured.
◾️The design standards for urban infrastructure in this region needs an immediate overhaul. Systems need to be put in place to minimize the risk of injury in this playground.

It’s a climbing park for older kids, so not the best for little ones.
Can get busy, so if your planning a party, get in early.
Does have some green space for running around or kicking a ball.
There is a cafe onsite, and bbq facilities.
The sight lines aren’t the best, so don’t expect to sit and watch the kids the whole time, as they can and will go out of view on occasion with this park.
Also, the park has sand, so expect to take that home.
The Coffee Club Café - Stockland Caloundra is an established chain that serves all-day breakfast and cafe lunches. They are known for their signature coffee blends and offer Cheese & Bacon Potato Wedges with Sour Cream and Sweet Chili Sauce as a daring menu item. The staff is pleasant, polite, and provide swift service. Customers can choose between regular Pepsi or Pepsi Max. On Saturdays, the lovely staff engages in nice conversation while ensuring fast service for customers' overall pleasant experience.
It takes some kind of daring and mad genius combine the words "Cheese & Bacon Potato Wedges with Sour Cream and Sweet Chili Sauce" in one sentence!
The staff were delightful and polite, and the service was courteous and swift! Even offered regular Pepsi over Pepsi Max.
10/10
*Edit for addendum: I don't normally take pictures of my food, but this was a work of art! Delicious.

Poor service especially from the manager. Tried charging us again for something we had already payed for. We had bought the same thing a couple of days before and it cost the same as it did now. We were really upset with this as we are consistent customers and are really upset with them as we were looking forward to a nice breakfast and coffee. Overall we probably will not be coming back.

Had lunch there yesterday.
Grandkids ordered a ham and cheese flat grill yesterday. They served up a ham and cheese toastie which was served cold and we found a long black hair in one of them.
Also we asked for a large bowl of chips with tomato sauce on the side and they came out with a small bowl of chips and no tomato sauce
When we complained the waiter said that there was nothing they could do. When we asked for the Manager we were told that he was busy and could not talk to us.
Not a pleasant experience and will not be back!!!!
Coffee Club needs to lift their game.

I ordered a $17 bruschetta, this is what I got. Poached egg wasn’t poached, Halloumi was so hard I couldn’t even cut it with a knife, I had
To snap it to eat it, then after my first bite, it was just uneatable, had a total of 3 cherry tomatoes for the entire bread, and roughly 8 pieces of onion, it just wasn’t enough . Disgusting. Will not be returning

What a shame coffee club stockland has bad customer service. Very dirty surroundings and lazy and slow service. Poor hygiene was seen with all front end staff. Definitely need more training on food hygiene and coffee handling skills. Sorry guys but you need to pick up your entire customer service.

What’s going on at this Coffee Club?
It was always very good.
Been here twice lately, cold coffee & stale cakes, no cream with the cake & both times no spoons with the coffee.
Staff are lovely, shame something is letting everyone down!

Coffee is marginally better but cakes & desserts are terrible. Still no Brownies & still no cream served with anything & nothing is warmed either!

My parter and I both ordered salads, the caesar salad with chicken was nice and a good serving size however the Thai beef salad lacked flavour, the beef was bland, portion size was so small and there was no coriander or mint in the salad. We also both got smoothies, the mango and passionfruit was delicious, the acai smoothie was average and was not served with the Granola. I wouldn't recommend coming here for their salads

Food is always to the CC standard. Located in the middle of a shopping centre so convenient but noisy, busy and public. Order delivered was for another table but quickly corrected.

Food was a little undercooked, but that aside it was what you expect from a coffee club. A bit expensive for what you get but it's better than McDonald's food type thing.

Nice local community pool with polite, friendly and helpful staff. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her swimming classes and the play areas. They also have a lil tuck shop on site if you need a caffeine or sugar fix. There are 4 different pool setups for varying levels as well as a skate park and gym.

Tried doing hydrotherapy today. Got everything ready. Helped new support worker get to the pool. Got there on time. Walked up to the door just as physio was arriving. Everything was good. The whole morning has led up to this moment. And the centre was closed. No notification on website. Just a handwritten sign out the front. Would appreciate better communications around closures as this was a big ordeal for me.

50 Metre Pool- Very clean looking.
Unfortunately when I went there lately the 50m pool attracted a mother and father with two children playing with noodles taking up two entire lanes (after their plastic bag blew in and went into a lap swimmers lane), a lone old lady taking up an entire lane to do aqua aerobics, a man taking up a lane with a kid that squealed and screamed and jumped in time after time and another time a large Kiwi family (many kids) attempting to enter but as the pool was overly packed they turned away. All these times actual swimmers had to double up in a lane and Life guards were present. Yesterday two lanes were blocked off so half a dozen or so seniors could do supervised aqua yoga.
I thought all these “non lap” swimming people in the “Lap Pool” which has “lap swimming lane” signs could have used the kids pool, heated pool or even the 25m pool? Is this allowed? If not then enforce the rules. If so then that’s ridiculous. Yesterday as the few lanes left were doubled up so we had to turn away.

I like the Caloundra Aquatic Centre however the indoor pool was taken over by parents and kids (3 sets of families), no respect just kept getting in everyone's way. A couple who had a tiny baby came into the pool directly infront of me and another lady (who were walking the pool) and continue to potter there, they didn't care at all. I have mentioned this to reception and they were very helpful and told me to report it if it happens again. Parents and kids have a roped off area in the indoor section, which they weren't using and there are also quite a number of small pools that could be used, there is no need for them to be using the indoor pool section that is supposed to be for therapy.

Great facilities in a lovely setting. Makes you feel like you're on holiday, even when you live here. The swim club tends to monopolize most of the lanes from 4-6pm, which makes it hard to get a swim in after work for the general public. Cafe is a bit pricey.

Staff are so kind and extremely helpful. Rackley are privileged to have such a strong committed team. Joshua always responded to feedback with positive professional comments and action to improve outcomes for swimmers especially when renovating challenging conditions for change rooms. Sam is also extremely professional and committed. Water in the pool is maintained. Thanks so much Joshua and Sam.

I really enjoy the 25 and 50 meter pools, however there are too many children in both pools. Particularly the 25 outdoor pool. Parents are non existent and if they are, they are totally oblivious. The so called life guards are worse. No one cares that children are interfering with those who actually want to swim.
Norman Bates — Google review
What is this place, are you a swimming school or are you open to the public? Every time we come to swim we are pushed around from pillar to post because of some swim classes or similar that take priority, you can`t do both at the same time. The front of house staff are lovely and the lifeguards but the Swim coach that reprimanded us for using their lane is an absolute bell end and needs to learn some basic manners, not coming back ever.

Perfect for those windy days where the beach isn't an option. Staff and facilities are brilliant. Even do a really yummy coffee (which is an awesome surprise). Octopus Pool is great for little ones. Bigger pools are great for more confident littlies. We LOVE this place!

All good when I came here yesterday but today my friend and I paid for entry and I kid you not 2 minutes later the lifeguard told us we were under age and we had to leave unless supervised by a parent or guardian, but why wouldn't they have said anything at the kiosk or the 50 other times I had come here. I am fairly disappointed.

Excellent coaches, it’s easy to see how much they love their jobs. They welcomed my daughter 6months ago, helped her make swim friends and cement her love of swimming. Sunrise and sunset swimming 🤩
