Qantas Founders Museum

[1] Stage 2 of the Qantas Founders Museum was part of a 1999 A$110 million Queensland and federal government project, the heritage trails network.The museum tells the history of Australia's national airline Qantas, from its early beginnings in Outback Queensland in the 1920s to present day.The Qantas Founders Museum has a variety of interactive displays and exhibits telling the many stories of the airline over its 100-year history.[3] In September 2014 the museum purchased a derelict Lockheed C-121 Constellation, a former US Navy C-121J (Bu No 131623) N4247K c/n 4144 that had been impounded at Manila International Airport for more than 25 years.In April 2021, members of the Qantas Board unveiled a new exhibit at the museum, a custom-made replica of the Boeing 747 onboard Captain Cook Lounges from the 1970s.
