Legends of the Skies Theatre was established in 2013 to keep alive memorable and remarkable stories about Australia's proud history of aviation vision, design, adventure and courage.

They research, write and perform all their own work, using music, drama, visuals and theatrical effects. Twice nominated as Kingston's Group of the Year, lots perform in a Moorabbin Air Museum hangar, rigged up for shows with aircraft removed!

All ages will love their informative, fun, engaging MacRobertson Trophy Air Race show which highlights the Ballarat born Macpherson Robertson's rags to riches story, and how he agreed to sponsor Victoria's global air race, opening up world business to Australia via air access.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
