Lake Boga Flying Boat Museum

The Museum is a Lake Boga Lions Club project and is a memorial to those who worked on and with the Flying Boats during World War II and particularly commemorates the contribution made by service men and women stationed at the No. 1 Flying Boat Repair Depot, Lake Boga, Victoria.

The Lions Club, after many hundreds of volunteer hours, rebuilt the aircraft, A24-30, on display today and has re-constructed the adjacent Communications Bunker using original plans and photographs, to resemble its wartime state.

Other items on display are the Ronaldson and Tippet engine, which was used during and after the war to pump water from the lake to the water tower above Long Lake, and many wartime artefacts from World War II.

The Lions Club of Lake Boga run the Museum, now housed in a modern hangar which was officially opened on 21st April, 2012, overlooking the shores of Lake Boga in Willakool Drive. They employ staff and volunteers as guides and the Museum is open seven days a week between 9.30am and 4pm (except Xmas day and Good Friday).
