I have a friend visiting Australia at the moment, he has grandchildren just north of Brisbane to visit.
I told him about Petrie and he thought he might have a look.
But I can't find a link to the museum on the net.
He needs to know opening times etc.
Does the Queensland Steam & Vintage Machinery Society Inc. have a home page?

Thanks Graham-Jilly.
I'll pass that on to my friend.
Hope it's easy for him to find.

Phil, no opening times, but there's a phone number and a map.

Thank you John, the map is good!
I've also found out  it's not only steam, it's a whole village, blacksmith, pub, and all the arty things, but it only steams on the 1st sunday of the month.
Pity, he won't be there that long.
