Intrepid adventurer's aviation museum an auction marvel
Intrepid adventurer John Fisher would have been right at home in earlier times when men and women took on almost insurmountable challenges and pushed the boundaries of human endeavour in a quest to explore unknown worlds.
Instead this entrepreneur, pilot, philanthropist and avid aviation collector undertook extreme exploits in a modern day environment to satisfy his desire for an adrenalin rush.
His aviation collection will be auctioned from noon Sunday April 30 at Maryborough Café Gallery, Maryborough Railway Station in Station Street, Maryborough Victoria.

Unique single collection to attract special art auction lovers
Richard Boland holds a unique place among single owner Australian art collectors whose works are now going to auction.
While many serious collectors work with advisers and dealers to obtain well-known quality pieces often to maximise investment potential, Boland’s main motivation for purchasing a work was its intrinsic visual appeal.
This might have reflected his work in the early years of television when pioneers were still learning about the importance of visual methods of communication.
