Hands‑On History: Guided School & Special‑Needs Tours Through HARS’ Living Aircraft.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
A living sweep from Tiger Moth to Super Constellation
The museum’s collection spans light trainers through large transport types, giving groups an immediate sense of aviation evolution as they move between hangars and aircraft.
Guided, volunteer‑led tours among operational aircraft
Led by knowledgeable volunteer guides, the 90‑minute group tours emphasise stories behind the machines and the people who kept them flying; many of the aircraft are maintained in operational condition for an immersive, up‑close experience.
Catered group options to suit school outings
To complement the guided walk, the museum offers catering for groups — from a traditional group morning tea to boxed lunches — so visits can be social and self‑contained.
What the day feels like
What the visit feels like
Over approximately 90 minutes, your group is shepherded through a series of hangars and adjacent tarmacs by a volunteer guide who ties individual aircraft to broader stories in Australian aviation. The emphasis is hands‑on and immediate: many exhibits remain airworthy, and the tour is built around seeing machines as operating artefacts rather than static displays.
