Holbrook: Archerfield Airport
Moorabbin Airport lies along Melbourne’s southeastern coastal plain, a level urban expanse east of Port Phillip Bay. Opened in 1949, it is one of Australia’s principal centres for general aviation, serving flight training, private aircraft, charter operations and aviation businesses rather than scheduled airline traffic. Its runways, taxiways, hangars and control facilities form a working airfield within the metropolitan area. The Australian National Aviation Museum is based at the airport and preserves aircraft and material connected with the country’s aviation story. The surrounding south-east is a low, built-up part of Melbourne, with the bay and the Mornington Peninsula defining the wider coastal setting.

Holbrook sits on the southern edge of the Riverina in New South Wales, where the inland Sydney–Melbourne route crosses broad grazing and grain country. Founded as Germanton, it was renamed in 1915 for Lieutenant Norman Douglas Holbrook, a British submarine commander awarded the Victoria Cross during the First World War. That unexpected naval connection is marked by the Holbrook Submarine Museum and the fin of the former Royal Australian Navy submarine HMAS Otway. The Hume Highway once passed through the town centre before a bypass redirected through traffic.

New South Wales is widely known within Australia for Sydney Harbour, home to the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The state extends from the Pacific coastline across the Great Dividing Range to wide inland plains within the Murray–Darling Basin. Sydney is Australia’s largest city and a major centre for finance, arts and international travel, while inland districts are strongly associated with farming and long distances between towns. The Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, form part of a UNESCO World Heritage area of eucalyptus forests, sandstone escarpments and deep valleys.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
