Taking the stage at 2.45pm will be Australian rock legend Daryl Braithwaite, serenading the audience with songs spanning his 30 year musical career. Daryl Braithwaite came to fame in the 1970’s as a singer with Sherbet, a band which forever remains in the history books of Australian music. Throughout the 70’s, Sherbet produced 20 national Top 40 singles. Daryl then embarked on a solo career, returning to the Australian music scene in a very big way in 1988 with the release of the phenomenally successful album “Edge”, featuring four hit singles with “As The Days Go By”, “All I Do”, “Let Me Be”, and the gold single “One Summer”.

Simon Taylor defines the difference between sleight of hand and sleight of mind magic.

Through studies in psychology, practice of hypnosis and experience in the performing arts he is able to blend a range of skills into an unforgettable presentation of illusion.   His personable demeanour and energetic performance style allows Simon to deliver high powered entertainment with intellectually captivating content.

Based in Melbourne, Simon has continued to produce sold out stage shows.   Along with performing at private corporate events, he currently runs a weekly magic show called My Magic Thursdays .  He is regularly sought after by science groups and academics for his understanding of human behaviour and insight into the construction of illusion.

These are illusions for the mind, about the mind.

Simon’s performance will form part of the Commemorative Ceremony
Thursday March 18th in Diggers Rest.

The Society was established in 1968 as a volunteer group to preserve Melton’s history, and is now situated at The Willows homestead in the Historical Park, Melton. We have been involved in many community projects over the years, and now have the opportunity to create Melton’s first historical museum, also in the historical park, behind the Men’s Shed.

As well as collecting and researching historical items and cataloguing our vast collection of artefacts and photographs, we also open the Homestead to visitors every Sunday afternoon. Our volunteers give talks to schools and community groups as well as conducting group tours to the park.

Our new Museum, when finished, will house an extensive collection of local farm implements and machinery and will also showcase our history with horses.  We welcome visitors to the Homestead and if you would like a tour during the week, feel free to contact us.

The Aviation Historical Society of Australia’s (AHSA) is a group of like-minded people interested in recording and sharing the rich history of Australian aviation. Members are from all walks of life that share a common passion for aviation.

The lifeblood of organisations such as ours is research and the sharing of information. Much of our aeronautical history, has been lost or forgotten. Our aim is to save this vital part of our national story by encouraging the sharing of information, artefacts and personal experience, and to encourage participation in the Society by all interested people.

The AHSA publishes its journal Aviation Heritage four times a year, along with the Newsletter. The Society encourages members and the public to use the resources of the Society for individual research projects, magazine articles and submissions to our own publications.
