We’re (Leslie and I) gonna be in Aussie-land in April.   Visiting my son who lives in Sydney.  Probably have two weeks.  Looking at a couple of guide books, but there’s nothing like hearing from the natives and those who travel there a lot as to things to do and places to go.  Auto shops, museums, race tracks . . . the usual tourist stuff.

Thanks for any and all advice.  And Paul, apologies in advance.  I don’t think I can leave the puns in Calif.  LOL

Visit the famous  300 foot diameter radio telescope in Parkes NSW.
Nice drive through the blue mountains. It was pivotal in the moon landing.

Tell the chief engineer you are rotor
head. He is building a rotary powered experimental airplane. If my memory serves me well I think
his name is Erik Lensson. If he likes you and he feels like it there is a remote chance he will give
you a private tour of the receivers and dish controls. Google the dish to find out what it
is all about. Don't forget to buy the US version of the famous Dish movie on DVD.

It is located on Neal Ungar's farm who has built a rotary powered airplane.
He might give you a ride.

Erik and Neal, John Dinkel here wrote several famous books on the Mazda Wankel.

I'll ask Neal if he is interested in meeting you.

Neal, John is just OK but his wife is a real sweet heart :)

From there drive over to New Castle on the east coast. Real nice
town.

John, check Japanese Nostalgic Car posts. You want to find Gypsy. He has been restoring a 1973 RX3 that he just got back on the road. Very nicely done with white paint and charcoal painted Watannabe wheels. He will know of some show and shines and seems to know a bunch of other rotor heads that talk and swap parts.
