Headed down to Phillip Island the other day to have a look at this. Very good wee museum with a few aircraft,vehicles, lots of 'artifacts' photos and a/v displays. Even has a section dedicated to the kiwis (very nice considering NZ still seems to be ashamed of its Vietnam vets) If you only have limited time, go to this. Don't bother about that rip off GP circuit up the road.

The Canberra has a fuselage but it's in a spot that is impossible to shoot. Tracker is a new addition just out the front along with an International truck. You won't be making the pilgrimage to mow their lawns?
