Not such a long ride, but a wonderful glimpse into the history of motoring in Australia. The Australian Motorlife Museum is a new facility at Kembla Grange (near Wollongong) which houses a beautiful collection of automobiles, motorcycles and motoring paraphernalia of all kinds, charting the history of motoring in Australia. My friend Arthur, the proud owner of a Harley Davidson Ultraglide (pictured below), suggested a trip to the Museum.
So, on a recent Sunday afternoon we met at the museum, paid our $11 entry fee and spent an enthralling 2 hours wandering around and drooling over the exhibits. An elderly volunteer who took our money at the door, was the only other person in the building, and so he accompanied us around the exhibits and shared much information about the history of many of the items. A lovely afternoon.
Rather than bore you with an attempted description, I thought I would let the photos do the talking. Enjoy.
