A Glimpse into the Past: Discovering the Charm of Point Cook Homestead

During both World Wars the Point Cook area was an important training base for landplanes and sea planes. It housed squadrons of aircraft from Australia and the allied countries. In the early days, hangars and wooden accommodation buildings were built to replace tents and temporary structures. Famous aviators associated with the base include Marshal of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), Sir Charles Williams, and many others.
