The Runway

We hope you have seen the signs in runway park, Trafalgar street.

These are just some of the reasons why we have these historical signs:

  • Shedding light on the history of the area as an emergency aerodrome in WW11.
  • Assist in the understanding of the war’s impact on Australia and how we view the broader topic of the sacrifices made by the generations before us.
  • Help the community take pride in the park and place a high value on it.
  • Activate the space as a place of interest
  • Help us retain stronger links to recent history in the area.

There are 4 signs to enjoy – we have added some extra photos and links here for you to enjoy and explore.
