Museum of Tropical Queensland
This fun museum is interactive and state-of-the-art, designed to
tell stories of the high seas like that of HMS Pandora, the ship
that captured the Bounty mutineers before coming to grief on the
Great Barrier Reef in 1791. The museum also details the natural and
human history of tropical Queensland, and there is a fun science
centre included. The building is set on the water and includes a
shop and cafe.

extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
