Australian visit

[Tony Middleton]

Dear Tom.

A visit to the Temora Aviation Museum is well worth a day, they have scheduled open days and have a wide range of aircraft.

Their a number of Rvs and F1 Rockets based their, most activity is on Sat Sun.

I live in Wagga Wagga which is about 60 mile away and have a RV 8 flying and a Cessna 190, you would be welcome to visit.

Regards

Tony Middleton

Two basic ways to go Melb to Sydney - inland by Route 31, or Coastal by Route 1

Inland will see a lot of broad acre crops, irrigated crops, some dairy, lot of cattle and some sheep properties, plus some horse studs.
Coastal see dairy, cattle and some horse studs.

Inland - good road, small towns, and at that time of year it will be brown and dry. Not very scenic, unless you deviate off into the mountain forests in the south (well worth the deviation to go from Melbourne via the mountain forests and rejoin the main highway at Benalla, in northern Victoria. (Google "Mountain Ash Forrest", and "Black Spur Mountain Ash" to see photo)

Coastal - beautiful coast. Absolutely magnificent. Road ok, mostly not divided freeway type road. Beautiful beaches that go for miles (90 mile beach is one), small fishing towns, great seafood, national parks. Must sees are Marlo (Victoria), Mallacoota (Victoria), Tathra (NSW), Bermagui (NSW).
I did a flight years ago from Melbourne via coast to Narooma (NSW) - it is one of my most memorable flights ever.

Could go Melb inland to Canberra, and then join coast road at Bega (NSW).

NSW = New South Wales

Hi Tom,

I live in Sale, Gippsland Victoria and would be happy to have you and your wife stay a night or two if dates line up. Sale is just over 220klms from Melbourne to the East and is in the heart of the Gippsland Lakes district, National Parks and Alps on the Princess Hwy. My current work commitments look ok for any time after the 27th of February. Could do a flight around Wilsons Prom and or up over the scenic Gippsland Lakes if weather permits. It is our hottest time of the year with local day temps up over 40degC not uncommon. Either way hope you have a great holiday.

Cheers, Greg
