Photos from the Power House museum.

During my weekend up in Sydney with grand daughter Louise & husband Craig I visited the above museum of Arts & Sciences.
Not a lot of Aviation things but there was Laurence Hargrave's Box Kite models, an Autogyro & models of a SE 5a & Vickers Vimy.
Great full size original Steam engines & carriages including the first steam engine to run on the New South Wales railways.
Other highlights for me was the actual Bugatti GP car that won the 1929 Australian Grand Prix at Philip Island track & a working replica of the famous Strasburg Clock built in Sydney early in the 1900's.

Pics attached!

The state government will sell the Powerhouse Museum in Pyrmont to raise about $200 million for the museum's relocation to Sydney's western suburbs.

Premier Mike Baird and Arts Minister Troy Grant announced the relocation of the museum to Parramatta and flagged their plans to sell the building and its prime central Sydney land on Thursday.

I guess they don't want to waste prime land on a mere museum
