Queensland Transport Museum - Open Day

Step inside the region's most unique collection and explore an incredible lineup of rare and historic military transport, with powerful ties to wartime history in the lead-up to Anzac Day.  Get up close to vehicles dating back to WW1 through to the Vietnam War, and read the stories behind how our forces moved, served and operated across generations.

The exhibition features an extraordinary collection of wartime transport, artefacts and models, generously donated by key exhibitors Russell and Carol Tattam, Clive Barton, Rob McIntyre, Geoffrey Moesker, John McKay and Nick Stokes.
Among the collection are rare and seldom‑seen pieces, including a 1917 Holt Artillery Tractor and an original GMC truck hitched to an ammunition limber and 25‑pounder artillery piece.
Visitors can also view military vehicles such as the Australian Dingo Scout Car and two Bren Gun Carriers, each carefully restored and presented alongside stories that bring their historical significance to life.

This is a chance to explore, learn and enjoy a great day out with plenty of activities happening for all ages.  Try your hand at the boot camp, get your face painted and write a letter to a Veteran.  Just a short stroll across the park will find you at the Gatton District & Historical Society who will also have the doors open to explore as part of the regions weekend Heritage Festival.
