2025 Point Cook Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#melbournetrip The museum leads a thorough journey through the history of the RAAF while presenting some of Australia's most important military aircraft up to the 1990s along the way. There are toilets but no food or drink facilities, so bring water and a snack if you plan on spending a bit of time here. The gift shop is small but has a great range of model aircraft and some general gifts. Overall, a fantastic place for enthusiasts, and a great opportunity to learn about Australia's military aviation. Point to take note: 1) Photography around the base is not allowed (except in the museum itself). 2) The museum itself is located on an active military base. Because of this, booking in advance is essential - they check IDs and vehicle registration before issuing visitor passes on entry. 3) Entrance is Free
