Temora Aviation Museum’s commemorating 80 years since WWII ended with free museum entry from September 2^nd for 80 days (excludes ticketed aircraft showcase events) https://www.aviationmuseum.com.au/ 

If historic ex-military aircraft plus saving a $20 entry fee piques your interest, then why not join the Club for a ride through NSW’s Hilltops and Riverina to Temora, for lunch at the Guardhouse Café and to check out some legendary aircraft? Prefer a shorter ride – then join us for the first leg through to Boorowa for coffee (100km one way).

Outbound: Ex. Ampol/Caltex Foodary, Gold Creek (Nicholls) to Boorowa (coffee), then on through Murringo, Young and Milvale to Temora (229 km): Google Maps 

Return: Each to their own and to decide on the day with options including:

• Via Harden (198 km): Google Maps
• Via Cootamundra and Hume Hwy (227km): Google Maps 
• Retracing outbound route (230 km): Google Maps 

Approximately 430-460 km return (ex. Ampol Foodary, Nicholls) on sealed main and secondary roads (expect some damaged surfaces).

Fuel: Available in Boorowa, Young, Temora, Wallendbeen, Cootamundra and Murrumburrah.  

Meeting Point: Meet fuelled and ready to go at the Ampol/Caltex Foodary, Gold Creek (Nicholls) for an 08:30 departure.

GS Riders: For those keen on a gravel/dirt route/detour, you’re more than welcome to join us en route, or at the Museum/Cafe.

Register if you're interested in coming so I can let the Museum/Cafe know likely numbers for lunch. Please email rides@bmwmcc.au if you plan to meet the group on the way or at the Museum/Cafe, or head elsewhere after coffee in Boorowa.

For those joining the ride along the way, or making their own way to Temora, proposed meeting points (with best guess times) are:

• Ampol/Caltex Foodary, Gold Creek (Nicholls) - leaving 08:30
• Murrumbateman Country Inn (passing by, not stopping) – 08:55
• The Bakery Boorowa (38 Marsden St, Boorowa) – arriving 09:40, leaving 10:20
• Temora Aviation Museum and Guardhouse Cafe (1 Tom Moon Ave, Temora) - arriving 11:50

Return route rest stop: To decide on the day.

Cheers
