ZK-REX came to Australia at the end of 1958 as a demonstrator. It was briefly registered VH-REX and named "Binatang". It returned to NZ registry but in 1960 was sold in Australia as VH-REI. Rex was Rex Aviation, a New Zealand company and Cessna agent. It would establish a base for Australian Cessna sales at Bankstown airport in Sydney.
