    Yes, I, the magificant Senator_Elegos_A-Kla will be visiting your state!

    As of tomorrow, I will cross the border and be staying at Wagga for a few days, then on to Richmond for another few. Then I will be lodging at Randwick and touring Sydney for a day. If you're lucky you could spot this key VIC FFer! If you spot a group of people outside Galaxy Books with dark-blue polo tops with 'Australian Air Force Cadets' written on the right sleeve and one of those is wearing a pair of TPM pants you have spotted him!

    And all Canberrans, I will be coming to the ACT after Sydney mmkay?

    Unforunatly that last message I posted was about 1 hour before I left on the bus.

    But if anyone saw a bus with an Air Force logo on it going around, nearly blocking off some streets, that was us.

    And if you saw a bunch of teenagers on Bondi Beach wearing what is similar to a policeman's uniform, that was us too.

    And of course the people wearing those blue polo tops with the Australian Air Force Cadets logo and name on it, that was us too.

    I left your state on yesterday at 5:30pm when we crossed the border.

    Our Parade uinforms are Light Blue Long-sleeved shirts, dark blue tie and navy blue pants and black shoes. We always wore either dark blue; wide brimmed hats/legionnare caps/Garrison Caps (The things that the American Marines wear)

    Our 'Civillian' uniforms were dark blue polo tops with the AAFC creft on the left breast and Australian AirForce Cadets on the right sleeve. We were allowed to wear casual pants, but most were either dark colored pant and jeans.

    Here is what we did and where during my trip:

    Monday April 1: Went to Bandiana Army Barracks, looked at the museum there, then travelled to RAAF Base Wagga and stayed there for the night.

    Tuesday April 2: Toured RAAF Base Wagga. Went to Temora Aviation Museum. Visited 332 Squadron Australian AirForce Cadets based at RAAF Wagga. Stayed at RAAF Base Wagga again.

    Wednesday April 3: Left RAAF Base Wagga & went to Parkes Radio Telescope; toured around there. Travelled to RAAF Base Richmond and stayed there for the night.

    Thursday April 4: Visited Boeing 707 Simulator at RAAF Richmond and looked around and had a sim flight. Visted 36 & 37 Squadrons (C-130H & C-130J Hercules repectivly). Looked inside them and I might want to be a Herc pilot now, C-130Js are sweet as. Stayed again at RAAF Richmond.

    Friday April 5: Left RAAF Richmond and went to HMAS Watson in Sydney; visted Bondi Beach and travelled to our accomodation at Randwick Army Barracks. That night we visted Centerpoint Tower in Sydney and looked out across Sydney at night. Stayed at Randwick Barracks.

    Saturday April 6: Went into Sydney and visted the Aquarium, Opera House, Darling Harbour and Circular Quay. Stayed at Randwick again. Also if you saw a bunch of people wearing what looked like 'civillian' uniform going over a bridge in Darling Habour (The one near the Aquarium and the Maritime Musuem) siging:

    "Hey... Hey Baby! Oh! Ah! I wanna know.. if you'll be my girl"

    That was us.

    Sunday April 7: Left Randwick Barracks and went to Canberra and visited Parliament House and the RAAF memorial. We stayed at Royal Military Collage Duntroon.

    Monday April 8: Visted the Australian Defence Force Academy and toured there and the grounds of RMC Duntroon. Went to the movies at Canberra and watched Ice Age and the AOTC Trailer!

    Tuesday April 9: Visted the Helicopter Squadrons at HMAS Albatross in Nowra and saw the Sea King, Sea Hawk and Sea Sprites. Stayed at RMC Duntroon again. At about 12:30am someone set off the fire alarm as a prank (Not us Cadets though).

    Wednesday April 10: Left RMC Duntroon, visted the Australian War Memorial and went on about a 7-8 hour non-stop drive back to Melbourne.

    Also If you saw an Air Force bus breaking nearly every road rule and causing general traffic chaos... That was us too :p
