America: Stranger Places
Adam Cole

Wing Commander Adam Cole, Royal Australian Air Force, says he will return to Canberra in December with a heavy heart. During his three-year posting in Washington, DC, Adam set out to see as much as possible of the United States; to date he has managed to spend time in 41. Already predisposed as a consummate traveller and having travelled to many countries outside of his native Australia, Adam wanted to make the most of his time in the USA, and spent most weekends traveling to a different location or returning to them for special events. His travelogue highlights well-known and little known events including motorcycle races, air shows, rocket launches, co-piloting WWII airplanes, trail riding in the wild west, staying at an Amish farm in Lancaster County, PA and of course many diplomatic events in Washington, including the celebration of ANZAC Day.

Adam's program will enlighten us with stories of an Australian's impressions of American sub-cultures throughout the continental United States. The program ends with his most favourite destination, a destination guaranteed to create a cheer among members of the Travellers Club audience who have come to hear him and see his excellent photographs.
