Your encouragement, advocacy, and shared passion for preserving our nation\u2019s aviation heritage have sustained us over many decades. We are especially grateful to the government officials and partner organisations who walked with us through the closing chapter of our museum\u2019s operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although our doors have now closed, our story does not end. Like the cycle of life\u2014what has been cherished continues to offer new purpose\u2014our collection, memorabilia, and the stories entrusted to us will live on. Through carefully selected museum partners and historical organisations, the artefacts and knowledge we have protected will continue to educate, inspire, and enrich future generations. In this way, the legacy of our museum takes flight once more, carried forward by institutions equipped to share it with the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To our visitors, volunteers, donors, veterans, families, and friends: thank you. You have ensured that the achievements, sacrifices, and innovations of those who came before us will never be forgotten. While this chapter closes, the spirit of discovery and remembrance that defined our museum endures\u2014reborn in new homes where it can continue to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With deep gratitude,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volunteers @ the Caboolture Warplane Museum (2025)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Caboolture Warplane Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"section-info-text\">101 McNaught Road<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"section-info-text\">Caboolture, QLD 4510<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/2015\/05\/06\/australia\/\"><span class=\"section-info-text\">Australia<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"PnXKXSrMjf\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cwpmuseum.com.au\/\">Home<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cHome\u201d \u2014 Caboolture Warplane Museum\" src=\"https:\/\/cwpmuseum.com.au\/embed\/#?secret=fzhH1ciFcm#?secret=PnXKXSrMjf\" data-secret=\"PnXKXSrMjf\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Closed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admission fee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gift shop<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CabooltureWarplaneFlightHeritageMuseum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-922\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aviationmuseum.eu\/Blogvorm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/facebook.jpg\" alt=\"facebook\" class=\"wp-image-922\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"txt\">About 30 minutes north of Brisbane along the Bruce Highway.
