Moorabbin Airport
Moorabbin Airport occupies a low, open plain in Melbourne’s south-east, Victoria. Also known as Harry Hawker Airport, it commemorates the Australian aviation pioneer Harry Hawker and is a major centre for general aviation in metropolitan Melbourne. Its intersecting runways, grass verges, hangars and control facilities support flight training, private aircraft, charter operations and aviation maintenance. The airport lies inland from Port Phillip Bay, amid the established suburbs of the City of Kingston. Rather than a commercial airline terminal, Moorabbin has the working character of an active aviation precinct, where schools and specialist aviation businesses operate alongside local flying clubs.

Among Australia’s regions, Victoria stands out for the remarkable variety packed between the Murray River and Bass Strait. The state combines fertile northern plains, the Central Victorian Goldfields, the forested Great Dividing Range and a long southern coast. Bendigo and Ballarat grew rapidly during the gold rushes of the 1850s, while Melbourne developed into Victoria’s cultural and economic centre. Along the southwest, the Great Ocean Road follows a dramatic stretch of coastline, contrasting with the farmland and river country inland.
