Ken Duncan Gallery
Ken Duncan is well known as the pioneer of Limited Edition Photographic Art in Australia. After a visit to New York in the early 1980’s, Ken returned home with a dream to see photography widely accepted as an art form in this country. The increasing number of Australian photographers now emulating his panoramic style and finding a market for their work is testimony to Ken’s success.
Ken Duncan’s basic philosophy is best summed up by these words of truth from the Bible. “For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities – His eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” (Romans 1:20).
Ken Duncan’s Gallery on the NSW Central Coast is an expansive, purpose-built facility – one of the largest privately owned photographic galleries in Australia. Set amidst a beautiful blend of natural bush and landscaped gardens, the Gallery features spacious viewing rooms and an intimate state of the art theatre.
Lunch will be at the Bamboo Buddha, 221 Wattle Tree Rd, Holgate, a vegetarian and vegan cafe and nursery. Menu
Gallery: 414 The Entrance Road, Erina Heights
Cost: Free to enter gallery. We will also do the gallery tour ($4 per person) which includes a personal commentary from a staff member, the gift of a Ken Duncan postcard and an inspiring 40 minute audio visual experience in the modern theatre.
Time: Meet at the gallery at 10.30am
Getting there: Welcome to car pool - it will take around an hour to drive. See map

Fighter World
Fighter World preserves the proud history of fighter aircraft operations in the Royal Australian Air Force. Fighter World is a totally ‘hands on’ experience. Exhibited in two hangars, visitors can walk-around, touch and look into the cockpits of famous aircraft, such as the first Vampire jet built in Australia. Fighter World also offers the opportunity to sit in the cockpit of a Mirage interceptor and Macchi jet trainer and experience first-hand what it’s like to be one of Australia’s ‘Top Gun’ pilots in today’s hi-tech world.
Perched on the Observation Deck you can witness the various aircraft of the RAAF’s premier Fighter Squadrons take-off and land while listening to all the action on the live audio feed direct from the Williamtown Control Tower.
Inside the main hangar you’ll also find the Norm Forrester Collection. Unique to Fighter World it is undoubtedly one of Australia’s greatest displays of hand built model aircraft and just around the corner you’ll find so many things to see and do, you won’t know where to begin.
Fighter World is a great place for families. It is close to Williamtown airport and you often see real fighter jets screaming overhead.
