Lonely Planet review

A small circular building houses the wreck and story of the Kookaburra Memorial, a tiny plane forced to make an emergency landing in the Tanami Desert in 1929 while searching for Charles Kingsford Smith and his copilot, Charles Ulm, who had gone down in their plane, the Southern Cross . Keith Anderson and Bob Hitchcock perished in the desert, while Kingsford Smith and Ulm were rescued.
