A trip to Temora

By Frank Gray

HI there fellow aviator,

This is just a little note to let anyone know who are interested in warbirds and aviation museums. To get up, up and away down to Temora next weekend the 9th & 10th of Nov. It's only 1 hr flying time from Camden or 3 hrs by car (which the wife and I did)

We both had a great time, the drive down was great and easy. We stopped at the Budget motel in Cootamundra, which looked after us really well the rooms are neat & clean. There are plenty of places to eat, and our pick was the Globe hotel.

The drive from Cootamundra to Temora is a 30min drive, driving through fields of yellow & green Canola, which look like a patchwork quilt.

The museum is very well set up, most of the aircraft being flown both days. Undercover seating is provided and the commentary is spoken by someone who knows what they are talking about. The local fire brigade, at competitive prices, provides food & drinks with a steak sandwich (which I can recommend) costing $3.50.

For more information visit their web site at www.aviationmuseum.com.au/temora if you decide to have a visit I am sure that you will have a great time as the wife and I did.

Cheers

Frank & Pat
