There is a unique opportunity for members on Monday 16th March at 11am. Get up close with Australia’s aviation history.

The State Library has a wonderful exhibition called Heroes of the skies to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the flight from England to Australia by Ross and Keith Smith and their two engineers, put together by Carolyn Spooner and a team of specialised Library staff and Society member.

Visitors to one of her Curator’s talks and were amazed to learn of the intricacies of arranging such an exhibition. One visitor said “I had already looked at the display but learned so much more by listening to Carolyn’s commentary.”

We are very lucky that Carolyn has offered to give a guided tour of this exhibition to our members in the new year. Lainie Anderson will be giving us a lecture on 19^th March on this topic so our Curator’s Talk is 4 days before then.
