Daylesford Drive

Vintage and Classic Register Captain Ron Loccisano has organised this year’s annual drive to Daylesford.

Start time:           8.30am for 9.00 departure

Start location:      La Manna Direct, Essendon Fields, Essendon Airport

Following long established practice for this annual club visit to Daylesford, there will be a 30 minute break in the journey in Woodend where everyone can enjoy the coffee and the many taste-tempting treats available at Bourkies Bakehouse which is situated right in the centre of the town.

Arrival time in Daylesford is scheduled to give everyone enough time to wander around, and check out the offerings, of which there are usually plenty, at the very popular Daylesford Sunday Market before lunch.

Lunch will be at the well-known and very popular Farmers Arms Hotel, a venue that club members have visited on many occasions in the past and enjoyed their repast. Because this very popular hotel does not take lunch bookings it is a case of first in best fed when the hotel opens its doors at 11.30am.

After enjoying the usual sumptuous fare at the Farmers Arms Hotel some members may prefer to use the visit to the nearby market to walk-off the lunch they have just partaken of.

And if the Sunday Market hasn’t provided enough retail shopping therapy there is always an opportunity to venture into Daylesford itself to check out the local shops.

Please book by Friday 24th August and provide your name and contact details

Visit to RAAF Museum Point Cook

Visit to the RAAF Museum Point Cook

Sunday 17th June

For something a little different to the usual club outings, a visit has been arranged to the RAAF Museum at Point Cook which contains an amazing collection of aircraft that have contributed to the history of the RAAF since its inception as the Australian Flying Corps which had its birthplace at Point Cook.

The display ranges from replicas of a Bristol Boxkite and a 1910 Deperdussin monoplane, to a Tiger Moth, a Vampire jet, Supermarine Walrus, a Catalina flying boat, a Sabre jet, a F-4E Phantom and a swing-wing F111, and so many more. There are a number of hangars to check out, all of which contain significant aircraft or memorabilia.

At 1pm on Sundays (and Tuesdays and Thursdays) the museum conducts interactive flying displays involving the museum’s own Mustang, Winjeel, Tiger Moth, Sopwith Pup and sometimes aircraft visiting from other museums. Once the flying display concludes the pilots are available to answer questions from spectators.

Start time:         9.00am for 9.30 departure

Start point:        LaManna Direct, Essendon Fields

BYO                 Food and drinks (cold, hot or otherwise)

Entry to the museum is free. There are picnic tables close to the museum.

There may even be a chance to display the Alfas close to the museum.

Looking forward to having you join me for a day out with a difference.
