Steve Smith Member Posts: 503 From: Wichita, Kansas, USA Registered: Mar 2002	posted 03-03-2015 04:12 PM Kathy and I will be visiting Australia later this year as part of a Friendship Force Expedition. Any suggestions for space (or aviation) places to visit? We'll be in Cairns, Brisbane (North Moreton), Gold Coast (Tweed Valley), Sydney (two nights/one day), Ulurhu, and Melbourne.

Unfortunately the wonderfully knowledgeable curator who set all of this up, Kerrie Dougherty, was one of a swathe of employees who lost their jobs in a recent round of staff cuts.
