Oakey Army Flying Museum and Jondaryan Woolshed


23 June 2018 - Oakey Army Flying Museum and Jondaryan Woolshed

This morning we were up early to go to Oakey Parkrun – a lovely chilly 3 degrees, but a very friendly run.  Back to the van for a shower and breakfast.  

Off to Oakey again for the Army Flying Museum – they had an impressive number of planes and helicopters in a small space.  My favourite plane was the “Boomerang”.  This was Australian designed and produced in sixteen and a half weeks from design to first test flight during the second world war using parts that were available in Australia.

After lunch we cut and fitted carpets under the bed mattresses and over the vent in the door – hopefully this will keep it warmer overnight. This afternoon we explored parts of the Jondaryan Woolshed Museum – quite a large collection of old buildings and machinery with an explanation of the history of each building provided on an audio app.
