Hi Jillian & David,
Thanks for the pics.
More from me yet to come re the H.A.R.S. museum & Wollongong & one more of David.

Just a bit of Melbourne & Sydney happenings:
"Wicked" is still playing in Melbourne's Regent Theatre until September.
Marianne & I went down to Melbourne to see it in March. It was utterly fantastic.
It's starting in Sydney in September at Capitol Theatre & we've just booked to see it again.
I don't know if its going to Brisbane Jillian but if it does (& you've not seen it) then we very highly recommend it.

The loveliest, sweetest flower that bloomed in paradise, and the first that died, has rarely blossomed since on mortal soil.
It is so frail, so delicate, a thing, it is gone if it but look upon itself; and she who ventures to esteem it hers proves by that single thought she has it not.

Glad you are having a good time in Oz, where I want to go (after NZ, if I ever get there!). Your photos are a good addition to the thread. Most interesting. Peter S.

A couple more H.A.R.S. Museum, Illawarra Airport (Albion Park) shots from the visit David & I made:
This shot is a collage taken 2002 . Shows the Constellation.

Closeup. The plane was undergoing its 1000 hour service on the day of our visit.

View showing engine cowls open.The guide told us that radial engines consume vast quantities of oil.

Hi Joe. Australia has plenty of snakes. One of the pythons is actually called the Children's Python as it's such an ideal pet for children.

These engines power both the Constellation & the Neptune in slightly varying forms. Shown here as cutaway assemblies:
