Aviation Centre

This is just across the road from our caravan park and we had been past it several times, finally we pulled in to see what was there.
This was a massive plane a B-52, there are several planes around and under it. B-52's were bombers and used in war time and this particular one was built in 1960 and used in the Vietnam conflict.

There was a lot of information re planes of course and the part that Darwin played in WW2.
An Amy Johnson plate, there is a street named after her not far from here.The medal alongside is one presented to Bert Hinkler. He was born in Bundaberg not far from home, he designed and flew planes and was the first person to fly solo from England to Australia.

Love the art work on this one.
