  • These walruses from 1930s were used by RAAF as reconnaissance aircraft, able to take off from a warship. This piece had a fierce history: in October 1947, it was assigned to RAAF's Antarctic Flight, painted in yellow and deployed at the first postwar Australian expedition to the Antarctic region. However, it flew only once and during a storm in December of that year at Heard Island was completely destroyed. Only in 1980 was the aircraft recovered and brought back to Australia. Restauration lasted ten years, and since 2002 it is exhibited here.

  • Hammersley Holdings. Khancoban is one of many obscure Australian tiny airports. This is the only one on the east side of the Kosciuszko National Park and all who want to go through the park and see the highest Australian mountain, pass by the airport. Locals sense that and so the owner of this Cessna placed a card with a photo and a phone number at the local post office and offers scenic flights. However, the end of the summer did not look like the busiest time of year.
