Don’t know where Tuesday went but late in the day took me off to motor museum at Whiteman Park. Fortunately George rang them before I got there cos they normally close at 4.00pm and it was 3.45 when I arrived so they gave me some extra time. But, still not enough time so I resolved to go back.
Wednesday I set off again and it just happened that the tractor museum at Whiteman Park was also open. It is staffed and maintained by volunteers and I got adopted by some old(er) farts. Got to change wheels on an old Fergie with Willy and got taken through the workshops by George (another one). Ended up getting introduced to most of the tractors personally and gee were they interesting, see…………
Anyway, some hours later I managed to get away and whip over to the motor car bit. Again this is staffed by volunteers and most of the exhibits are privately owned and change over periodically. I think its run by the Vintage Car Club of WA but I could be forgetful about the details. It is nonetheless a fantastic collection of vehicles although somewhat incomplete (WHAT no Sprites!!!!). I was told that they are seeking a grant to double the size of the building to accommodate further vehicles that have been offered. This is just some of what they have on display……….
Well this takes us to Wednesday of last week. George and Ina left for Albany this morning leaving us to love the animals. We set off Thursday which must be about 30 May. As I seem to behaving technical problems with my fingers I’m going to stop here but before I do………………………………………………………………………..

From John & Jan Fowler:
What a fantasic couple of museums! I would love to have got amongst those tractors for a close look. And such a huge array of cars too. Trouble is looking at some of those just makes me jealous. Wonderful to see though.
Cheers
John
