This is a brilliant little museum. I'm not that interested in aviation so didn't think I'd enjoy this visit much but there's so much personal information about the man himself(with the exception of his complicated marital life) that you quickly become intrigued by him. There's also quite a few hands on exhibits for the kids too to keep them amused as well as three short films. A special touch is his English home that was shipped over and re erected on site. Allow about an hour for a visit. The added bonus is the botanic gardens and cafe immediately on hand. Staff are very friendly too and there is a reasonably priced gift shop.

For an aviation buff or a Bundy local this is a good place to visit to appreciate how big Bert Hinkler was in the pioneering days of aviation and what a local icon he was. The hall is small by aviation museum standards so if you are an aviation buff hoping to see displays of real planes then it would be a little disappointing. If you are invested in the stories more than the aircraft then it's definitely worth a look. This review would have been 5 stars except some of the interactive parts were out of order so that just takes you out of the experience a little.

What a fantastic place, a well thought out display telling the aviation life and story of this flying pioneer from Bundaberg. Great for the whole family very kid friendly with lots of interactive things to do for all ages. To also get to see his home brought over from England there onsite as well was a real insight into how people lived in the early 1900's. The staff were very helpful sending us in the right direction.

Extremely well laid out and relatively small museum depicting the life of the famous aviator Hinkler. Being a modern museum it has many new gadgets such as simulators where you can try and fly both old and new aircraft. The 15 minute cinema show is where you need to start and then visit the rest of the exhibition. I knew next to nothing about Hinkler but left there much wiser. A good museum and a great aviator.

Well, I remember being taught about Bert and his exploits. The museum is a great experience. Lots of interactive stuff and lots to read and veiw. Why they relocated his house from England I will never understand but they did anf you can wander thru it. The staff were friendly and helpful, as it located in the botanical with a café too boot you can take your time and wander the gardens. Do yourself a favour

The information boards had lots of details around the life of Bert Hinkler. Pitty that the video replicates some of the information. Planes and in particular his plane are great to have and see, well done Bundy. The setting, Botanical Gardens is a wonderful spot to have the museum. So many other things to see, do and explore. Plenty of parking, toilet facilities, a cafe and an opportunity to ride a train.
