LIGHTHORSE MUSEUM

Some of the MFB runners and CBC students ventured down the appropriately named Monash Freeway to Nar Nar Goon to visit Bernie Dingle’s fabulous Lighthorse museum. Greeted with a friendly smile, a strongly brewed cuppa and homemade Anzac biscuits we all listened intently to Bernie’s wealth of knowledge about the Australian Lighthorse. The amazing memorabilia gave us extraordinary insight into the conditions faced by our forbearers. I am sure that Bernie will continue to be a bottomless well of information during our run and consolidate our knowledge of the people and places we visit along the way. There is a rumour going around that the nerves of his first flight may quieten Bernie down just a little, but many are doubting this! The run is getting closer and the excitement amongst all is building. Most of the runners are looking a picture of health and can’t wait until the run begins.
