Hinkler Hall of Aviation is a museum built as a tribute to aviation pioneer Bert Hinkler. Bert made record-breaking flights locally in the 1920s and flew the first solo flight from England to Australia.
The museum is housed in a building designed to look like an aircraft wing. It contains several aviation collections large and small and history of aviation and flight as it developed through to space travel.
