I'll never look at canola oil the same way now. So many potentially inappropriate quips, must use self discipline.

Will do, Rick. I booked the museum visit a week ago. You are correct about it being closed to general public, so far as walk in traffic is concerned. The sign on main road still says Open To The Public, which is a little misleading. Wish it was on the outside of the base, so changes in security level would not have such disappointing effect. I drove past Gaza Ridge this morning, on my way to Wadsworth, and saw two motorhomes turning in to the carpark. I hope THEY had bookings.

I really like the toys they leave laying around here.
They missed an opportunity by not putting an info plaque on each tank. The only signs say Do Not Climb. Guys at the gate to the base were OK with me taking photos. I promised I would not take any in the direction of the base.

I know it will sound juvenile, but I can have trouble sleeping the night before anything exciting. This happened before I left home, again the night before I arrived at Albury, and no doubt will happen again tonight. Bryce can understate things, and even HE is greatly impressed about the museum! When Bryce is finished work and cleaned up, I will take him out for a meal somewhere. That will be when I know if he is able to leave base this weekend.
