Sunday just gone myself and Zoe thought it would be a good idea to go visit the Point Cook RAAF Museum. We got up and got ready fairly early (for a Sunday) and headed off to Point Cook. I got out the old GPS and plugged it in and as usual it never works (for me), so I cracked the sads and then realised that I don’t have a Melways in the car and have no idea on how to get to Point Cook. After a minute or so I calmed down thought its 9am lets pull into JB HiFi and grab a new GPS. Zoe was trying to tell me that on Sunday shops dont open until 10am, but I wasn’t happy with that and convinced myself that they are open at 9am. Upon arrival I noticed alot of cars in the car park and told Zoe “See, the shops must be open, look at all the cars”. With further analyis I noticed that all the shops did have a sign on saying open at 10am. I looked at the clock and it was 9:30am and the car park was nearly full and so were most of the cars, I couldn’t believe it, why would people possibly want to sit in their car on a Sunday morning and be waiting 1/2 an hour until the shops open. Maybe they were all after GPS’s and were heading to Point Cook. I personally was looking for a Mio GPS but none of the stores had any, so then I thought I would go a Navman, but they were all sold out. Third on the preference list was a Garmin, but once again they were all sold out, so there I was left with only one choice, the most expensive, the TomTom. Without further delay I purchased the TomTom XL and headed out the store and plugged it into the car, and literally was heading off to Point Cook with a few taps on the screen. About 40 minutes later we arrived at the RAAF base where we had to sign in before entering. The museum was filled with some very interesting war equipement from the past and present with some presentation boards explaining what the items were and how they were used. All this took up two hangers and then you were allowed to look in another two restoration hangers wich was interesting too. The air show for the day consisted of one Sopwith Pup which in the end we didn’t bother hanging around for because both of us have both seen one of them fly before. On the way back we stopped off in the main street and had some fish & chips for lunch. Luckily for us it only started raining 10 minutes from home, otherwise it was a nice enough day.
