Title: Nabiac
Post by: GMC on June 25, 2016, 09:20:52 pm
Had the chance to visit the Nabiac museum on the way home from (not so) sunny Qld.
The good wife alloyed me an hour but I managed to stretch it out a bit longer once I got talking to owner Brian.

It's definitely worth the look if you ever get the chance to get there

I think Roger used this bike to learn his sketching style

Never been myself but will go one day for sure. I've got a one of one Australian made road race bike that I wish to lend to them once I've put it back to it's original condition from back in the day.

I was there a few years back and I spent a couple of hours there. Looking at your pics, it's obviously expanded since then. It was great value as well, A gold coin to get in and feast the eyes and senses for as long as you want.

Filled with the weird and wonderful. it wasn't there while I was growing up in that small hamlet but I wish it was.
 I spent my youth mainly on and behind that big ass mountain to the left. Did you happen to see a small Green Russian road bike at the museum? That particular bike was my first ever foray into the two wheeled world.

Yes its a great place.

Get there before lunch. Get a Tee-Bone at Nabiac Hotel.

 Heads-up, the rest of the menu is shit compared to the best Tee-bone
in the world. Then go back for another hour or two, lots to see.
