About
The Lake Boga Flying Boat Museum shares the remarkable story of the secret flying boat base at Lake Boga during the Second World War. Visitors can explore a fully restored Catalina flying boat, discover wartime artefacts and hear stories of the men and women who worked at the repair depot. Interactive displays, photographs and personal stories bring local history to life. The underground communications bunker offers a rare glimpse into wartime operations. Friendly volunteers share knowledge and local stories, creating a welcoming and personal experience. The museum combines aviation history, regional heritage and community spirit in a unique lakeside setting.
