The people who founded aviation in Australia thought of it as a condition in the public consciousness which would encourage people to use aviation; to travel in aeroplanes and to send their mail and their freight by air.
It was not a simple enthusiasm for or an appreciation of aviation which the founders had sought, it was the unthinking use of aviation as a tool in the same way that other technologies are tools for shaping or relating to the physical world.
This practical application of aviation, an awareness of what it could do and a willingness to use it, was what the founders of aviation had hoped to create and what they had meant by an "airminded society".
