Fifteen months ago, interested residents of Diggers Rest and surrounding districts, along with Houdini enthusiasts, formed a series of committees to put together events to commemorate the "First Australian Powered Controlled Sustained Flight of an Aircraft" by Harry Houdini.
The planned events have seen community effort from various organisations and community representatives (including the Diggers Rest Lions Club) with wonderful financial & administrative support from the Melton Shire Council.
Thursday March 18th 2010 kicks off the celebrations at Diggers Rest with the Commemoration Ceremony. Saturday March 20th 2010 will see Melton Airfield host the Houdini - Centenary Air Show from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Details are available at:

The committee initiative to invite Cosentino & Daryl Braithwaite to perform will, no doubt, be amongst the highlights of Sunday March 21st, 2010.
Along with the many other family oriented events planned we are looking forward to a great day, successfully concluding the three days of honouring Harry Houdini, escapologist and flight pioneer!
