The Air Force Memorial Estate in Bull Creek is much more than just a commemorative site; it is a vibrant hub of Western Australian aviation history and community. Managed by RAAFA WA, the 11-hectare estate is most famous for housing the Aviation Heritage Museum, an internationally recognized institution that serves as the "building" most visitors associate with the memorial. Inside the museum’s massive hangars, you’ll find one of Australia’s most significant collections of military and civilian aircraft. The crown jewel is the Avro Lancaster bomber, one of the few remaining in the world, which visitors can actually tour via special "inside the Lancaster" experiences. You will also see a Supermarine Spitfire—a permanent symbol of the site that originally sat on a pole outside—and a Douglas Dakota. Beyond the museum, the estate features the War Memorial Walls, a solemn space for reflection dedicated to those who served in all conflicts. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with a picturesque lake and gum trees, often used for community gatherings and commemorative flypasts. Whether you are there to explore the technical marvels of the "north wing" or to pay your respects at the memorial walls, the estate offers a unique, hands-on connection to Perth’s military heritage.
Very affordable breakfast. Alot of the deep fried stuff but they do have a kitchen we didn't take advantage of. We will be back to give the kitchen a go.
The air force museum offers a remarkable glimpse into the history of aviation. Its exhibits showcase an impressive collection of aircraft, spanning from early pioneers to modern marvels. Visitors can learn about the bravery and innovation demonstrated by those who have served. The detailed displays and informative narratives create an engaging and educational experience. It is a truly inspiring place that honors a vital part of our heritage.
Great way for the kids and adults to experience some great history pieces. Understanding how flying has changed the world as a whole from someone's dream to the reality we have today, get on a plane and bam 5 hours later your in Melbourne.

Awesome museum. Really well laid out. Really great airplanes on display. Just wear summer clothing as it can get pretty warm inside during summer. The real shock attraction was a plastic grow house with an F18 Super Hornet and a Tornado fighter jet sitting in there! Like, what are you two doing here?! They're still active modern aircraft. And the real real shock was that they had all their avionics bays open which showed both airplanes were 100% complete, including engines. A fantastic way to spend a day.
Excellent place to live. Community spirit is so lovely especially amongst the staff and the block where I live. Of course that sort of thing depends on the people. Great group of folks in Ventura! PLEASE don't knock this section down (in the name of futuristic planning..)for a long while! Love the idea of a buggy for transport on the estate. Shop, etc for public use. Museum on site a definite draw card. The garden and maintenace/hgrounds crew are so warm and friendly too. Love it all.❤️
This place is awesome jf you like planes and museums. Didn't get to take in all the information, going back very soon to see the Lancaster properly Safe were so knowledgeable and friendly. Can't wait to go back Thanks
Amazing collection of planes and air force history here, the recently got a tornado as well which is amazing to view. Strongly recommend visiting if planes are your thing as there is heaps on display and detailed history and information available. The tour of the Lancaster is also excellent
