Like many, I suffer from a hearing loss and I do not always wear my hearing aids as such I often don't hear the words that are spoken.

I can how ever Hear the Whispers on the Wind from our fallen men and women who are saying ""Thank You for Remembering Us"" without my hearing aids

That's interesting, they had an APC when I visited there in 2000. Must have been on loan. Wonder if it's still on the access road to Phillip Island?

No its actually on the Island now. It was at San Remo on the mainland but moved across the bridge into much bigger premises next to the airport. Seen it many times going to the race circuit but never ventured inside.

Suppose I should put it on my bucket list.

Thanks Peter, and you should go. It was very interesting back then, should be even more so now. They even had a reasonable Navy section, unusual for a museum started by swotties.
