“Great for a free museum”
It's promoting the navy, I guess it should only be free. Anyway, after an obligatory introductory... read more

Even if you are not a "reggie spotter", this Museum is worth a visit. As an ex military pilot, I found it fascinating and my wife also enjoyed the experience. The Museum is well laid out and the exhibits are easy to access with informative information. There is also the chance to sit in a helicopter "simulator"!
The shop is well stocked with souvenirs and "cool" clothing and there is a cafe with great views of the runway.

The museum is constantly improving and although not large by some standards, it gives a great snapshot of the role Naval aviation has played in Australia's defence.
Having served at HMAS Albatross in the 1980s it's wonderful to see how far the museum has come since those tentative beginnings.
The displays portraying the history of the RAN Helicopter Flight Vietnam tell the tale of a little-understood part of Australia's Vietnam War.
You don't even need to be an aviation enthusiast to enjoy the museum.

This venue is now a world class museum. It has an excellent collection of RAN FAA aircraft from WWII onwards. There are good references to the start of Australian Naval Aviation. As a retired ADF person it was heartening to me to see so much detail preserved about the aircraft that I worked on & with during my RAN service.
Weekdays are quieter but the cafe wasn't operating.
Excellent souveniers available.
