GROUND DISPLAYS
There will be something for everyone at the 2024 Airshow.
In addition to the airside program there will be lots of displays related to the 'celebrating aviation, heritage and community' theme:
THE CRAFTERS FAIR
Browse through the Bellman Hangar where Artisans, Collectors and Crafters will display or demonstrate their skills, interests and wares.
Meet the makers during the day and see them at work with demonstrations from 10-11am and again at 1-2pm.
Be inspired, mesmerised or fall in love with that special piece to take home with you.
Not just an Airshow…
Astrophotographer Ryder Byrnes will have his amazing deep space images and telescopes on display. This highly technical craft will mesmerise you with closer views of stars such as The Orion Nebula and NGC6188 (image ‘The Fighting Dragons of Ara’)
Riverstoned Cane Rods and Flyfishing Art
David shares his family tradition that goes back to the Snowy Mountains in the 1890’s. The feeling of catching a fish with a rod he has made himself still amazes him. David was taught his craft by master rod maker, Jeff Wagner (Ohio USA). And both Ken and David are passionate about teaching the craft of rod making. Be inspired and you can book into one of their rod construction workshops.
Riverstoned Cane Rods and Flyfishing Art
