Join us for a thought provoking evening

November 29 happens to be the anniversary of the gazettal of the township of Stuart (Alice Springs) in 1888.

Consequently, we've chosen to expand the evening’s theme to more broadly encompass local history by bringing forward the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Connair suicide tragedy (5 January 1977) which triggered the foundation of the Central Australian Aviation Museum (CAAM) the following year. 

And…finally, upon realising that next year is the 150th anniversary of the foundation of Hermannsburg Mission (Ntaria) and considering CAAM’s close links to the Strehlow Research Centre, our Precinct partner, the evening will promote awareness of this highly significant historical anniversary occasion. This is an inaugural event commencing a period of several major historical anniversaries for the Centre over the next few years.  Alex Nelson
