We had a day off from flying today. As much as I love flying, it’s important to have a rest day every 3 days or so.
Both Rob and Bruce are keen on military history and were keen to visit the Australian Armour & Artillery Museum. Wow! Even though I struggle to tell the difference between a rifle and a tank I did find it interesting. This private collection consists of over 220 armoured vehicles and artillery pieces from all over the world and is huge. Many still run and we watched a tank and huge armoured personnel carrier drive out of the exhibition area and do a few laps of the field they have setup outside.
Rob served in the NZ Army in his younger days and had a go at firing .22 and .303 rifle. One of them went "ping" and one them went "BOOM"! He was justifiably proud of the good cluster of shots around the centre of the target.
A pleasant day off at a place I wouldn't have normally visited on my own.
