I was down there about 8 weeks ago on my Around Oz Plane Porn Trip. Too many pics to put on the site so I am putting them all on facebook with a link if anyone wants to take a look...I came across Lake Boga by accident, not the biggest museum but definetely worth a look if you are in the area

Just a little video of a beautiful replica at Point Cook while I was on my around Oz Plane Porn trip... https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10150372910330200

Hey Ian, Yep was at Watsonia for awhile (92-95), first at 127 sig sqn in tate st Ivanhoe, then the school of sigs. Was just down there a few months ago to see the opening of the new ADF School of Sigs. Hasn't changed much although now it's tri-service...so lots of pussers and blue orchards cluttering the place up

Well let's see...Soldier for 5 years (Signals Corps)...still things I can't talk about there ....Paramedic, worked for the RFDS at Yulara (Ayers Rock) in 95-6...Nurse...and now Anaesthetic Tech at Cairns Base Hospital...Looking for a career change in aviation, not as a pilot though, too old and can't afford it!

A few pics...these are from HARS (historical aircraft restoration society and RAAF museum point cook) let me know if the link doesn't work [/url] http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150287147895200.407494.816650199&l=ef54a22567

Hi all, Thanks for all the ideas, will try to hit all I can on the way, currently in Bundaberg today so was out at Jabiru while they were preparing to leave tomorrow for the big event...Off to the Bert Hinkler museum in the morning then on to Brissy. won't be on for a while now, but will put any good pics up when I am back in Cairns...fly safe

Cheers Ian, Knew the XM weather was a no go...looks good

Are ALL the functions quoted for the EKP-V available for use in Oz Ian?...especially "Predicted Airspace" "Obstacles" etc or are we going to get a hobbled version in Oz?

Well the purpose of the trip is multi-faceted he he 1. Get away from work for a few months! (Way too high stress job, no holidays for about 5 years) 2. See some of the aircraft I'm interested in building in the flesh 3. Catch up with family in Geelong/Perth/Darwin 4. Reunion in Melb of old Army mates 5. Everyone should do an around Oz trip..I don't and never have owned a car so the old bike cops it!

the old beasty has enough rust he he...Caboolture is on my travels so the Caboolture Warplane Museum is on the list now too!

Just fired off an email to Garry at Morgan Aeroworks...we share the same surname so might be good for a discount he he...CFI, unfortunately Tassie misses out at this stage but never say never...depends on how I am going for time etc, and the cost to get the bike on the ferry

In about two weeks I am riding around Oz on my bike. Leaving Cairns and roughly to Bris-Syd-Mel-Per-Broome-Darwin-Alice Springs-Cairns. This route is highly changeable so am looking for ideas from members...It's a bit of a plane porn trip too... So far I have tee'd up visits to: Jabiru Lightwing Brumby Aircraft and visiting Fighterworld Aviation Museum - Williamstown Any other suggestions as to Aviation museums etc, aviation related spots of interest etc?

I like to crab initially and depending on wind (and aircraft), transition into 'wing low' at about 50-100 AGL. I was taught both methods and practice both methods regularly...I just prefer crab then wing low
