Bert Hinkler's life, adventures and achievements
The Hinkler Hall of Aviation highlights Bert Hinkler's life, adventures and achievements. There are numerous static displays including replicas of aircraft Hinkler flew and there is the opportunity to email yourself a photo beside one of these aircraft . The 15 minute film on his life is worth seeing. My experiences on the flight simulators were enjoyable but ended in 'disaster' - luckily Hinkler could fly better than I!! A walk through his home in England highlights life of a different time. Interesting place to visit to increase your knowledge of Bert Hinkler but the $20/adult ($15 concession) entry fee could be a deterrent for some.

Good history lesson about someone I knew nothing about!
Arrived early Saturday morning. Prices were disappointing. Nearly walked away but thought about when I would be in Bundy again. So we paid over $50 for a family of 2 adults and 2 children to enter. It was good. Well detailed events of Bert’s life. However everything I did I had to ask whether this is worth the price of admission.
