Ya just never know what you may find....

if you don't look! Just back from a remedial, therapeutic, holistic weekend up at Daylesford/Hepburn Springs. Apparently it was necessary to take the family away for a couple of days over the school hol's - something to do with getting away from the 'burb's etc. So off up to the freezing misty hills we went. Whilst I may have Initially questioned the "benefits" to me on this quest to recharge our "inner wellness", whilst up there I did check out some local bookshops and hit the mother lode! For less than $100, I came away with an armful of books including:

- Bluey Truscott by Ivan Southall - 1958.
- "Scooter" - The Douglas A4 Skyhawk Story (beautiful Crecy book)
- "The Wright Brothers"
- "The Spirit of St Louis" by Charles Lindbergh - 1953 1st Edition.
- "General Instrument Equipment For Aircraft" a very old technical book (circa 1930) on aircraft instruments. My father's first job was as a apprentice for Sperry Instruments in London, working on artificial horizons and directional gyro's built by Sperry. Somehow falling into my father's footsteps, I ended up a "Instrument guy" as well, so I love these old technical books on instrumentation.
- The Charles Kingsford Smith Story.


My "inner wellness" is now fully recharged thanks to these book purchases!

I have a funny story about me joining a yoga class.

That's where I got the Bluey Truscott book - great book shop. The 5 other books were all at that small Lake bookshop - know it? Looks like I got there just in time before other A/CAM'ers sniffed out these joints! There's a cool collectables shop just down the road - lots of cool car stuff. Wife hurried me outta there before I bought anything.

Yeah ,that's it Adam , I forgot about the one down by the lake .......good shop to. You don't mind going on these trips if you can score some aircraft stuff!!

Hey Knotty

You probably know about this pub, but some friends advised us to check out the "Farmers Arms Pub" for a meal. It is outstanding! As you enter town, hang a right at the roundabout on the road to Castlemaine - it's just on the outskirt of town.

Cheers
