Hi lovelies,
Well as much as I tried, I could not get Robbie to do the
blog today. I said it was Father’s Day
so he should do it, he said as he had done the last couple it was my turn. 😊.
We have had a wonderful time doing father-type things today.
First, I called my Dad and we had a lovely chat.
Our plans for the day were to have a leisurely morning
before heading off to the National Motor Racing Museum.
I had booked Robbie (and me) to have a trip around the Bathurst
circuit in a Holden Monaro.
We arrived a little early so that we could have a walk
around the museum until it was time for our ride. When we arrived, they also had rides
available on a “motor-trike”, so we booked one of those as well.
The Museum was wonderful.
So much history. They also have an
immersion room where they show a surround-video of a lap of the circuit. Really cool.
Lots of cars,
Bikes,
Sidecar bikes,
As well as other vehicles of interest. Solar cars,
Jack Brabham's racer.
dragsters
and this fabulous collection of wooden hand carved models.
It was then time for our laps of the circuit. Our first trip was in the Monaro. It was pretty cool.
We found out that the drivers of the cars that were up for
hire are all owned and maintained by the council,
and that the drivers are the
mechanics who maintain them.
They do the
Father’s Day ride each year, and it seems to be a huge success.
It was then a short wait until we had our ride on the
Trike. This is operated by a private
group and it was also a lot of fun. It
was different to do the circuit out in the fresh air as it was.
We then went back in and finished our museum tour, and
Robbie bought a couple of Mustang souvenirs to remember the day.
I thought the day went really well and Robbie said he had a good
time.
All for now lovelies.
Stay safe and keep enjoying life.
Love us.
