Avalon - Part of the city of Geelong. and other Lara, Australia General Tips

Favorite Thing: The Greater City of Geelong, in Victoria, was the proud major financial sponser of this spectacular event.
The Geelong area offers world class conferrence facilities, accommodation, shopping and tourist destinations.
A lovely harbourside city, within easy reach of some of the worlds best beaches, and natural attractions.
Ohh.. and lets not forget the Bellarine Peninsula Vinyards... ;-))

Avalon airport is just a short drive from Geelong, close to the township of Lara, on the Melbourne to Geelong highway... (Princes Highway)

Favorite Thing: Tribute to the Centenary of Flight...

It was just one hundred years ago that the Wright Brothers, Orville and Wilbur, made the first powered flight.
Not too many years later, 70 years in fact, we had men walking on the moon.
Aviation is one of the true technological miracles of our era....

Airshow 2003 has reflected this dynamic evolution, and it included a host of aircraft never before seen in an Australian Airshow.
The crowds were in awe about seeing so many highly choreographed flying displays, which included a WW1 dogfight, barnstormers of the 1920's, classics from the 40's and 50's, military helicopters strutting their stuff, fast jets, and heavy lift aircraft.
There were also home made planes, antiques, warbirds, commercial and civil aircraft.. as well as emergency helicopters.. and Pilots from all over the world, impressing the crowds..

It is very difficult to explain how you feel, when you hear the 'Thunder Roar, and feel the earth beneath you Literally Shake...
