Sundowner of the Skies
The story of Oscar Garden - The forgotten aviator from Mary Garden. Seventy-five years ago an unknown novice aviator by the name of Oscar Garden landed his second-hand de Havilland Gypsy Moth on a dusty airstrip in the far north of Western Australia to become the fourth person to fly solo from England to Australia. It was November 6, 1930, and at 27 years old, he was the youngest and by far the most inexperienced.

Failure of Triumph
Failure of Triumph is a story with several main themes. As the subtitle suggests it is EJ Connellan's story of the airline that he founded and it provides a unique perspective on 50 years of Australian aviation. But it is far more than that. It also provides an insight into 50 years of the Northern Territoty history. As the principal of the Territory's airline, a Central Australian pastoralist and businessman, EJ Connellan was associated with many of the key people and developments in the Territory's later history.
