Lovely quaint museum tucked away at a quaint airport.
Very reasonably priced for a passionate small endeavour, was fantastic to see some of the history of our local aerodrome as well as preserved aviation equipment.
I visited on a rather bleak, well typical Ballarat day…..but even with thunder roaring outside there was still plenty of interesting tidbits to explore.
It is a small museum, however that’s all a part of the charm I say.
