The ‘Timeline of The Australian Soldier‘ project continues. Next cab off the rank is the Australian Peacekeepers section.

Whilst we are awaiting more mannequins we have made a small start and added more artefacts into the Iraq / Afghanistan and Vietnam War displays. Lots more to do and more great items to come.

The contribution of Aussie troops to UN and other Peacekeeping operations since 1947 has been immense. We are delighted to be able to commemorate their service and have visiting school and other groups gain insight into their work.

Why not drop in and have a look? We are open Wednesdays 0900 - 1200, Sundays 1000 - 1300 or by appointment at Mudgeeraba Showgrounds.

The ‘Timeline of The Australian Soldier at War and Peace’ project has officially commenced.

As Vietnam Veteran’s Day is next week on the 18th of August, and so many school group students also have relatives from the more recent conflicts, that’s where we thought it was best to kick off 🙂

Phase 1 of the project features a Vietnam War display referencing the era of the Battle of Long Tan and a Special Forces Soldier of the Iraq and Afghanistan era.

Phases 2 and 3 will see us add Colonial, WW1, WW2, Korea and Peace Keeping operations displays.

Lots more work to do but we are excited to finally be underway on a project that will genuinely help school and community visitors better understand the service and sacrifice of Australian service men and women through the ages.

Come and have a look when we are open Wednesdays 0900 - 1200 or Sundays 1000 - 1300 at the Mudgeeraba Showgrounds, or by appointment :)

NOTE: All display weapons are NON-FIRING REPLICAS acquired and displayed in strict accordance with the QLD Weapons Act.

One of the great things about the Museum is that we are also custodians of the original Heritage Listed Schmidt Farmouse complex.

This 1800’s farmhouse has great character, houses a small part of the Museum collection, and some say is even haunted 🙂 It is a wonderful part of Mudgeeraba and Gold Coast history.

Come down and have a look around Wednesdays 9am - 12pm and Sundays 10am - 1pm or by appointment for schools and groups at Mudgeeraba Showgrounds.
