See the State Highway 3 symbol on the road heading sort of North-South? Off that road is Airport Road, and that leads to Mystery Creek. You can't miss it. It's right next to the airport.

If you're still confused, draw a line directly between Hamilton and Leamington and look along there, it's about halfway.

In the back of my mind I have a feeling that perhaps the James Aviation Tiger Moth might also be at the Mystery Creek Agricultural Museum. I'm not certain of that. Anyone else know?


I found the Mystery Creek golf course and changed the map reference so it is in the middle of that. I would look around for a better location, but the sat images are extremely poor and I can't make anything out. When you have a chance Dave could you let me know which direction I should go in for the C-47? Thanks again for all of your good info.

P.S. I have about 20+ emails with info for the NZ and Aussie locator in my Locator folder waiting for me. Expect a few more updates.

To be honest I didn't even realise there was a golf course there (and remember this is just 5 minutes down the road from me).

But that's a lot closer than you had before.

Anyone using your locator will find the museum ok because it's a long straight road (Mystery Creek Road) and to the north of the road is a plateau down by the creek, where all the event centre and museum and everything else is. There are several gates into Mystery Creek along the length of that short straight - as this is one of NZ's premium events centres and hosts huge events like international netball and the National Agricultural Fieldays. They can go through any open gate and find it - there's plenty of signs.

Mystery Creek's official site has a basic map here
