This is the remains of the Kookaburra, the plane that went out to look for Charles Kingsford Smith and crew, Kingsford Smith was found alive but the pilot and co-pilot of the Kookaburra were found dead out in the desert. Many years later they recovered the plane and put it in it's own memorial in Alice Springs.
Just out the back was the old cemetery. Here we found a couple of interesting grave sites. This strange looking statue is of Lassiter, panning at his fabled gold reef.
The other is this painted headstone for the famous aboriginal artist Albert Namitjira. We also saw a lot of his work in the gallery.
