Qantas Founders Outback Museum

The Qantas Founders Outback Museum is a transport museum at Longreach, Queensland, Australia. The museum is home to a decomissioned Qantas Boeing 747-200, which can be observed by people. It also holds the airline's first jet, a Boeing 707-138.

The Boeing 707 was restored at Southend Airport in England in mid 2006 and returned to Australia in December 2006. It was flown to Longreach on June 10 2007. It had previously been owned by a Saudi prince, but had not been flown for 6 years before its restoration.
