Lake Boga Flying Boat Base, Aviation museum and former air base in Lake Boga, Victoria, Australia.

The facility contains a restored Catalina PBY5 aircraft, an underground communications bunker, and exhibits displaying military equipment from World War II.

Established in June 1942, the base served as a critical inland repair depot for Allied flying boats following Japanese attacks on northern Australian ports.

The museum acknowledges the traditional lands of the Latji Latji, Wemba Wemba, Barapa Barapa, and Wadi Wadi Nations through educational displays.

The museum operates daily from 9 AM to 4 PM, with admission fees ranging from 10 dollars for children to 40 dollars for family passes.

Local farmers preserved the Catalina A24-30 aircraft under a tree for forty years before donating it to the Lake Boga Lions Club for restoration.
