Celebrating the centenary of Australia’s first powered, controlled, sustained flight at Diggers Rest in 1910, the monument has tall poles which echo the grass lands.
The open construction is influenced by Houdini's Voisin Biplane, and its angled text and blue forms remind viewers of the dreams and aspirations of early aviators. Artist: Mothers Art Year: 2010 Materials: Galvanised and painted steel. Location: Stan Payne Reserve, Old Calder Highway, Diggers Rest Commissioner: Melton City Council
