Isn’t it funny that when you live for years in a place you never seem to go and see any of the sights and it is only when you return for a holiday that you suddenly realise that there are places that you would like to visit. Maybe it also has something to do with me always looking for interesting and unique places to write about, but honestly, I have been driving past this museum(or at least the sign pointing to it since the main road doesn’t go through the middle of the airport) for ages but never turned off to road to check it out. So, I decided to change that, grabbed my brother, and paid it a visit. Okay, I’m not really big on planes, but it was still really cool. There are actually two hangers, one where the museum proper is located, and the workshop. When I first went in there I thought I just wondered around the museum however they include a tour in the cost and took us first over to the workshop were we got to see them in the process of restoring a plane that crashed near Vanuatu. The name is a bit misleading though because they also have a couple of propeller driver planes and a Mirage that accidentally landed at the nearby RAAF base without lowering its wheels. You can even get to sit in the cockpits of some of these planes(though for a tall guy like me that can be a little cramped). I did particularly like all of the models of military vehicles that were in the glass case.
