Berwick campus

The Berwick campus was built on the old Casey airfield, reportedly the site of the first sport parachuting jump in Victoria in 1968.

The Casey airfield was established in 1938. It was privately owned by enthusiastic aviator Lord Richard Gardiner Casey (Governor General of Australia 1965-1969) until 1968 when it was taken over by commercial operators who used the airfield for gliding and sport parachuting.

The original 1930s Casey airfield hanger is on display at the Moorabbin Air Museum together with one of Lord Casey's planes, a Miles Messenger.
