 Kuranda it is.

We were amazed that on our return of the skyrail, that everything, apart from one pub, was closed. Two cars only, at the

ub. And everything else was shut, quiet and closed. This was only at 5pm. It was almost ghost townish...........

Where to now?

That's it Radar, a very interesting restoration project, I am sure you would love to visit it.  We first went there, I think about 2012, and again in 2017. The project is completely run by volunteers, working in an old WWII hangar.

The shell of the B24 Liberator was found in Moe, Victoria, some of the engines in PNG. Another engine was donated, I believe by someone in USA. The plan is to get the plane ready to taxi down the nearby runway. they don't have the $$$ to get it to actually fly. Great project to watch and visit.

Interested:

Check out their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/B24Werribee/

or their web site: https://www.b24australia.org.au/home

Even interesting for little old me.

(and sorry, to those that were pursuing the museum theme, it is actually now classed as a museum)

OK Radar, you can stop reading now, share one of your adventures now.
