Soaring involvement can expand for enthusiasts beyond personal flying on toward a vast range of
social and collaborative activities.
Soaring museum activities fit within this scope.
Enthusiasts come together to undertake activities of interest; through which
personal fellowship develops, and individual skills are honed.
The outcomes include knowledge and qualifications often applicable in life more broadly.
Introduction
The sport of soaring is multi-faceted. It has many interesting and diverse directions which its enthusiasts can explore.
This web site explores wider interests in the sport of soaring than just going flying.
The result is that soaring enthusiasts can immerse themselves in this sport for a lifetime, varying their
interest to suit their lifestyle at any time.
Other web pages describe the flying, sporting, recreational, airworthiness, administrative aspects of the sport.
These pages here instead emphasise the archival, research, historical and conservation elements the sport offers.
Travel to the museum
60km east of Adelaide, South Australia's capital, leave the South Eastern Freeway at the Monarto interchange.
Travel south on Ferries-McDonald Road for 5km, past the Monarto Conservation Park.
The site is accessed by the third gateway on the right after the Park.
The entry is signposted 'gliding'; the museum is the first building on the access within the property, about 500m into the property from the entry point.
