 I hesitate, because my photo is from a slightly different angle, and not as much water.... Russell Falls, Tasmania

 To the best of my knowledge, all the planes at Temora are air worthy. Thus liberator will never fly

Did a little research and have come up with the old Werribee Airfield, outside Melbourne. Have not been there though.

 Craig, you are right, RAAF Museumvat Point Cook is definately worth 3 hours or so.

BUT

 Gaylehere has done the research and found the connection to the Werribie Airfield (not far from Point Cook)  Alll you grey nomads really need to visit this museum, where they are 

Restoring Australia's
only surviving
B-24 Liberator

Check it out, pay a visit, and go back a few years later to see how far they have gone.  B-24 Liberator Restoration Australia | Werribee, airfield, Victoria, RAAF, WW2, Long Range, Heavy, Bomber, veterans, Eric Clark, Bob Butler (b24australia.org.au)

Radar, add that to your ever increasing 44 gallon drum list.

I have let it sit for a while but no-one has had a go. Thinking the Cobb & Co museum at Toowoomba - but it has been years since we have been there.

No, not Cobb and Co. in Toowoomba. I haven't been inside that museum for many years also.

With this display, you usually stand outside the little building and look into the display through the glass, but when we were there the son of the owner arrived and let us go inside. The old gentleman owner is in his 90's and still likes to tinker.

Don't know exactly where you live Dunmowin, but this display would be closer to your place than mine.

Cheers.

Gayle, there is a display at Mt Tabor, on hill outside Warwick. Mr D went there with the Mens Shed a few weeks ago. Sounds like your photo, except that the Cobb&Co coach had no horses attached.

No, not Mt. Tabor, but must make a note of there for when we next head out Warwick way. This place is across the border. We had spent a few days in the Stanthorpe area after Easter and we came across this display by chance. We don't usually head down the highways unless we need to be some place in a hurry. All being well, we are going for a day drive tomorrow to Mt. Mee area, inspired by a photo Dunmowin put up some time back. Cheers.

OMG Gayle, well played. This display is at Liston, Northern NSW.

Have notbeen there, but in the words of Radar, will add it to our bucket list.

Yes Dunmowin, Liston it is. The Aloomba Lavender Farm is just up the road a bit. There is camping at the farm if anyone is interested. Plus a small lavender products shop with a cafe. The sign at the gate of Aloomba says it's only open certain days but we went in and the older lady who runs the shop says she's nearly always there no matter what the sign says.

Over to you Dunmowin.
