RUN TO THE BUS & TRUCK MUSEUM AT TEMPE, SUNDAY, 19th MARCH, 2006
Story Col Castle, photos Francois Vivot
We met at Parramatta Park for a cup of coffee, on this day that was supposed to be wet, but what a beautiful day greeted us. So, off we set to follow Mike’s directions but, unfortunately, my brain was still in neutral, so I set off down Victoria Road, instead of Parramatta Road, as suggested. But, we eventually joined the route about halfway there and all went well.
At the Museum, we met up with the rest of the group already there, being fed and watered, then into the Museum.
What a great workshop! Can you imagine how many Buicks would be in the Club with a shed and equipment like that. Dawn even found a bus that used to take her to High School in Quirindi (it can’t be that old, can it!).
After a good look over the sheds, most went on a vintage bus ride around the local area and back, but it was very hot. The old buses aren’t air conditioned. How did we survive. (see the view from the top deck in pics below)
After the Museum, we set off to the German Club for lunch. Fantastic food, I wish I knew what I ate, but I can’t read German. I’m sure nobody complained, the food was great, the people friendly and the music good for dancing. We have some good dancers in the club! We should go there again sometime.
A good day was had by all I’m sure!
