19.01.2022 What a wonderful mosaic inspired by Bert's record breaking flight in 1928, created by All About Art... "The finished image is taken from the picture taken of Bert as he got out of his plane after landing in Darwin. The place names are where he stopped for fuel."

07.01.2022 Narrow and steep, the stairs within Hinkler House are climbed by many for a personal glimpse into the home life of one of Australia's pioneer aviators. The s...tairwell was recently stripped, varnished and laid with a new carpet runner to preserve history and keep this beautiful house in good order for our guests. Akalia McFadden
