Burnett War Museum

Located just 3klms south off Cooyer Road from Kingaroy is The Burnett War Museum. The museum is located in the old Metrological Building and houses a comprehensive display of wartime memorabilia including four paintings by local artist Vasantha Barrett depicting four air ambulances used during World War II.

Here at the museum you'll be able to see an interesting display of photographs taken by Maurice Kingston, a local teacher who was drafted into the Army in 1942, this makes an interesting record of wartime scenes from Esk to Murgon.

The Burnett War Memorial Museum Association is slowly restoring all buildings at the airport erected at the airport during World War II to house and service troops who were stationed in Kingaroy during training and exercises.
