Visit to Queensland Air Museum - Caloundra

Only 22 of us headed off on our June bus trip with Brad our driver. It was overcast when we left Redcliffe, but the sun came out and blue sky as we traveled west and stayed out for the day. We travelled up to Glass House Mountains lookout for morning tea. Lovely view over the mountains and countryside all the way down to Caloundra. We then headed off to the Queensland Air Museum - Aviation Museum at Caloundra aerodrome. There where a number of volunteers to tell us about some of the various planes on displayed including an F-111. Very interesting place. Only got to see about a third of the things on displayed but very interesting to hear some of the stories from the volunteers.

Just a short drive to Caloundra Indoor Bowling Centre where we enjoyed a very nice BBQ lunch and delicious desert. The ladies there certainly looked after us. Will go back again.

After lunch we made our way to the 2 lighthouses up on the hill overlooking Kings Beach. One was built in 1896 and the second one in 1968. Neither of them are working now. You can’t climb the old one but you can make your way up 47 steps in the newer one. What a view from up there.

We had a good trip home arriving in Redcliffe around 4PM, Great day had by all.
