Page "Bert Hinkler" Paragraph 18

Thornhill, Southampton, Hampshire, England has three places in honour of Bert Hinkler: Hinkler Road, Hinkler Pub, and Hinkler Park, which contains a monument to him erected by the residents of Thornhill.

In 1983, " Mon Repos ", the house in Thornhill that Bert Hinkler and his de facto wife Hannah ( Nance ) Jarvis built, was saved from demolition and relocated to the Bundaberg Botanic Gardens, serving as a historical museum in his honour until 2008.

On 8 December 2008, the A $ 7. 5 million Hinkler Hall of Aviation was opened to the public in Hinkler's home town of Bundaberg.

Adjacent to his English home " Mon Repos ", the hall continues the role the house played as a historic museum dedicated to the memory of Hinkler ; this has allowed the house to be refurbished to a more domestic state and now serves as a joint attraction with the Hall of Aviation.
