Sitting in Bundaberg's Botanical Gardens, this modern glass-and-steel museum brings aviation to life through multimedia exhibits, six refurbished aircraft, interactive displays and a flight simulator. It also chronicles the life of Bundaberg’s famous son Bert Hinkler, who made the first solo flight between England and Australia in 1928. He died attempting the crossing a second time, in 1933.
