This is an active military site although there is no longer any flying from the base unlike during WWII when it was home to Bristol Beaufighters.
However there is a small museum dedictaed to RAAF activities, a memorial area and four aircraft on display at the entrance.

Although called a memorial this is effectivley a museum to all aspects of war as have affected Australia. There are a great many interesting exhibits including several WWI and WWII aircraft, the highlight of which is the Avro Lancaster G-George which flew 90 missions during the war.

HARS
HARS is short for the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society, an aircraft museum around an hour south of Sydney that was formed in 1979.The museum restores aircraft that are significant to Austarlian aviation history and, where possible, restores thhem to airworthy status. We went for a look around which is done by guided tour as many of the exhibits are in a live hangar. Certainly worth the trip.
