Overview

Mallacoota and District Historical Society invites you to visit the restored RAAF Advanced Operations Base
Our black summer bushfires in 2019–20 have been described by various experts and commentators as 'the worst bushfires in our history,' 'exceptional in size and impact', 'unprecedented', & 'by far Australia's costliest natural disaster'. By late November, every state was alight when fires broke out in Victoria, following lightning strikes in East Gippsland
The Bunker film won the multimedia section of Victorian Community History Awards for 2018.
