Lake Boga Flying Boat Museum

The Lake Boga Flying Boat Museum offers an informative look into World War II aviation history. Located on the shores of Lake Boga, this small museum houses a restored Catalina flying boat and various artifacts from the secret RAAF repair base that operated there during the war. Visitors appreciate the well-preserved exhibits and the opportunity to climb inside the Catalina, giving a hands-on experience of what it was like to operate these aircraft. The museum's volunteers are often praised for their knowledge and enthusiasm, providing additional context to the displays. While the museum is compact, it manages to pack in a significant amount of information and memorabilia. Some visitors note that the experience could be enhanced with more interactive displays or multimedia presentations. The peaceful lakeside setting adds to the overall atmosphere, making it a worthwhile stop for aviation enthusiasts and history buffs. However, those without a specific interest in military aviation might find the scope somewhat limited.
