Hinkler House was built in Thornhill Estate in Southampton, England in 1925. A modest detached house, he named the home “Mon Repos” to celebrate the beachside location of the same name in his Australian hometown of Bundaberg where he had fuelled his love of flight.
Hinkler House is physically separate from Hinkler Hall of Aviation 
but is included as part of the admission. Entry is through a door that is electronically opened from the Hall of Aviation.
Entry to Hinkler House cannot be purchased separately, however, if you want to view the house from the outside without viewing what is inside, it can be viewed without purchasing entry to Hinkler Hall of Aviation.
Hinkler Memorial
Located in the Botanic Gardens Complex is the Hinkler Memorial. The memorial contains an obelisk with a plaque that reads:
Australia’s great pioneer solo aviator, was enrolled at the nearby North Bundaberg State School on 17 January, 1898- admission no. 685.
The site of this obelisk is significant in the annals of Australian aviation endeavour, for it was here that Bertie Hinkler (his enrolled name, but nicknamed Spondulix) would sit for hours on the banks of this lagoon, watching, in praticular, the graceful ibis and observing and studying its flight patterns.
Eventually, Bert Hinkler was able to take measurements of the wings and body of the ibis, using the carcase of dead birds and, making mathematical calculations, he was also able to replicate its wing contours.
This enabled Bert Hinkler to build two gliders which he flew successfully at Mon Repos Beach near Bundaberg in 1911-12.
