Next Time You're Passing Through Sydney...

Heather's recent post about the aviation museum in San Francisco reminded me of a similar exhibit in Sydney, Australia.

Next time you're passing through with some time to kill, why not check out the Qantas Heritage Collection in Terminal 3?


I've been a couple of times when I've had a half hour or more to spare, it's quite fascinating and the views are great too if you just like to watch the flights come and go.

There's uniforms, aircraft parts, menus, timetables and all sorts of stuff along with a timeline of Aussie aviation.

If you get a chance, have a chat with Des, one of the volunteers at the exhibit. He's a wealth of info, and I'm told, has some great stories to share.
