plaque commemorating first powerd flight in Australia by Harry Houdini, Diggers, Rest, Victoria,

---

Harry Houdini was the first person to fly a plane in Australia. It was in a French Voisin bi-plane and he did it at Diggers Rest, near Melbourne, on March 18th, 1910. This plaque is at the site where he flew, a few miles out of the town. There is also a memorial in the town itself - see my other images.
