The view or two from my "office"

@Major @Muppet501st
If you get the opportunity to be there at 4.45pm for The Last Post, it is extremely moving.

Will definitely be back to spend more time there. We’re lucky we know a guy high up there who sowed us around. Didn’t have enough time but will take us thru the sheds with the items not on display.
They still have a few more rooms to finish off, around the end of 2027 should be completed.
 
After making it to the end of the Great Ocean Road at Port Fairy, we spent last night at Colac. Our next stop is in Melbourne, to catch up with the kids, and take the granddaughter to her first AFLW hanger at Windy Hill.

Knowing we'd need somewhere for lunch, we found del Rios Winery and Restaurant at Anakie. A brilliant place to stop.

I started my toddler phase @Anakie , guess iy may be different now ?
As you are very close you could swing by Bacchus Marsh and check out the gliders .….for a bit of memory lane...

The town is certainly still buzzing. The general store is brightly painted and there were what looked like a lot of locals out the front.

We passed by Bacchus Marsh airfield on the way down, but didn't stop in. I'm planning to go down to the Australian Gliding Museum later this year to get a copy of the Kookaburra drawings they have scanned. I'm planning to build a scale model of the ES52 Mk4b, VH-GRM that I went solo in. I'll send you pictures of the aircraft they have.
