While traveling around Australia the last couple of weeks I had a chance to visit the Queensland Maritime Museum. It was a great museum and I really went looking for some antique wooden boats.. well I found them in a small warehouse in the back of the lot full to the ceiling. I believe this warehouse is the home of their wood boat society which they also displayed some Seagull British outboards.
They allowed me to take as many pictures as I wanted so I thought I would share..
The boat on the wall second from the bottom was General Douglas MacAurthur's dinghy used as a tender and originally with a small inboard.
Great example of some early boat building downunder...
