11/24/2015 Darwin (Australia)

In the late morning we visited the 'World War II Oil Storage Tunnels', that were built under ground by the Australian army in the Second World War, after the Japanese destroyed the above ground oil tanks of the Australian by air raid.

Afterwards we went to the Darwin Aviation Heritage Centre, an aviation museum that exceeded our expectations by far. Here stands a big collection of civil and military exhibits, including a huge, original B52 bomber. All exhibits are in an excellent condition and not separated by barriers, so you can get really near to the flying machines.

For this evening Rod Coverdale invited us for a barbeque, but before he showed us proudly his collections of cars. Besides the Delorean he still owns three faithfully Mad Max movie cars, two Corvettes, a Chrysler in family-first ownership, one Holden as well as two also original Ford Falcons. The evening got funny and long, as conversation topic does never go out to car fans...

Our Deloreans have arrived in Darwin last night, we're waiting now for the message of the shipping agent, when the quarantine investigation by the Australian authorities will take place.
