Australian Army Flying Museum - Oakey
Advertisement
Oakey is home to the Museum of Australian Army Flying, displaying every kind of aircraft flown by the Australian Army since World War 2, including the latest high-tech military helicopters. And for real aviation buffs there are other remarkable flying machines, including a replica Bristol Boxkite, as used to train pilots in World War 1.
The area's most famous sporting son, the mighty racehorse Bernborough, is celebrated in a life size bronze statue that stands proudly outside the Jondaryan service centre. Here a press-button recording lets visitors relive one of Bernborough's brilliant wins and find out more about his exploits. Pioneer heritage is also on display at the Oakey Historical Museum, with its old slab hut.
Oakey has motels, pubs, a caravan park and bed and breakfast accommodations just a short drive from regional wineries, with restaurants featuring fresh local produce and the finest beef. Or, for a relaxing taste of rural life, you can try a farmstay on a working cattle and grain property.
