Welcome aboard the Diamantina – (nominated as a Queensland Icon) a Royal Australian Navy frigate built in Queensland and commissioned in 1945. Tour the ship from stem to stern and from bridge to engine room. See the cramped quarters in which the crew slept and ate their meals.

Visitors are able to visit most parts of the ship and experience living conditions on a World War 2 naval vessel. View a variety of exhibitions within the ship which portray the ship's role and other naval memorabilia. The Engine Room is in pristine condition and is accessible to visitors. The radio room is maintained in operating condition and is used regularly to participate in world-wide radio communication activities. On the quarterdeck, stand in the exact place where the Japanese garrisons on Nauru Island and Ocean Island signed surrender documents at the end of World War 2.
