MacArthur Museum Brisbane — Attraction in Brisbane City

🇭🇲🇵🇬 Hearing about General McArthur from my dad as a child to staying in McArthur Chambers. And finally!!! Visiting the museum was and is the cherry on top.

Lots of informative reading, a couple of videos to watch and displays. I loved the newspaper articles and seeing how Brisbane was affected during WW2. A somber visit.

Great experience I would certainly recommend giving this...
