That Link trainer was probably built just down the road from me in Binghamton, NY.

RAAF Point Cook in Victoria between Melbourne and Avalon.

PS Nice photos - I'll have to go again because that area was closed when I visited.

Thanks. That is not too hard to get to, only one day driving, each way. I will try to get there on one of my next trips to Melbourne area.

Yeah, I didn't think it was the Point Cook Museum. I swear I didn't see anything like that when I visited a few weeks ago!

South Nowra. So you can go from Canberra via Batemans Bay and the Princes Hwy and avoid Nowra totally Stay at the Husky Pub and explore the Jervis Bay beaches - a nice little weekend break.
