Our collection includes some of the rarest memorabilia associated with World War II.
We have an assembled Catalina PBY5 Flying Boat on display along with a range of elements of other aircraft, machinery, vehicles, components and photographs.
With over 500 items on display, we have captured a true glimpse of life during World War II.
We also have interactive displays and audio presentations which tell the stories of Australia's historical military history.
Our collection includes machinery, weapons, armoury, photographs, newspaper clippings, uniforms, engines, components and artefacts from the region.
It also includes video accounts from the men who flew Catalinas in WW II, words from our collection donors, the museum's founding members and Patrick Dillon who diligently recreated many of the items on display back to to their original glory.
A full sized Catalina PBY5 A24-30 has had an external restoration and is on display in our airconditioned hanger.
Well spread out with our extra space now that we have moved the Museum from the underground Bunker.
The original underground communications bunker has been reconstructed from old photos and an original floor plan drawing.
Our discovery centre offers a theatrette, library and research area where you can watch a short video of the Repair Depot or read about and research war history.
