Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Lorraine LTarwin Lower, Australia3,581 contributionsThis is a nice little temple, we didn't get to go through the museum because we were here on the wrong day.

- IamtunneyPerth, Australia318 contributionsWe visited the Motor Vehicle Enthusiasts Club Inc MVEC - it is the oldest and largest motor enthusiasts club in the Northern Territory with over 400 members most of whom reside in Darwin, Katherine and surrounding areas.
There was a lovely lady and a few gentlemen who are part of the club that volunteer their time to run the place.
They gave us the history of the hanger and how things came into the club’s possession.
You could see how much these items meant to them, and how the museum brought them all together.
This is a non-profit organisation - donations are welcomed for going through the hanger to see it all.
We gave them a $20 donation, as they spent a lot of time in detail telling us everything - they were so shocked and so grateful.
The proceeds they make go to their chosen charity.
I highly recommend checking them out!!
If you do go, PLEASE donate, It doesn’t have to be much, every little bit helps 🙏
The old QANTAS hangar is open for visitors on weekdays 9.30am to 3.30pm and 9am to 2pm SaturdaysWritten 31 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
