These events celebrate Australian aviation history which
was created on 18 March 1910 when the famous American
escapologist Harry Houdini made the first powered
controlled flight of an aircraft in Australia at Diggers
Rest.
At dawn on that day, Houdini flew his Voisin Biplane
aircraft from a paddock at Diggers Rest, and so became
the first person in Australia to make a powered,
controlled flight. There had been attempts by others,
but those flights were uncontrolled.
The magic of the flight, according to Houdini, was in
the "glorious thrill" of first adventure, and "not in
minor modification which is perpetual in any art".
