The Katherine Outback Heritage Museum, located in Katherine, was originally constructed as an air terminal for the region during World War II, and now contains an eclectic collection of artefacts, photographs, maps and pioneer memorabilia in an informative museum. A major exhibit at the Katherine Outback Heritage Museum is the first �flying doctor� Dr. Clyde Fenton�s De Havilland Gypsy Moth plane, used in his pioneering aero-medical work in the 1930s. As well as Aboriginal artefacts from the region, the museum houses photographs, furniture, home wares and tools ranging in date from the late-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. Outdoor and undercover exhibits illustrate a rich heritage of ingenuity in rural machinery and household equipment.
