If you like motor museums there's a George Taylor store (hardware) at Grassmere, about 10 minutes drive from Warrnambool, that has something like 108 vintage motorcycles on display. Anyone can go in and have a look - they have a donation box but it's voluntary.
They've got a balcony (can't think of the proper word) around three sides of the store and most are displayed there but some are sitting up on top of stock display shelves all over the shop. I started counting the upstairs ones as I walked past but soon lost count, but one of the shop assistants told me how many there are, and it's also on their website. If you google George Taylor stores you'll find their website and pictures of a few of the bikes.
I can't remember a lot of the details now but they had a few motorbikes from the second world war but I think the oldest was a Peugeot from 1908. They had a small car that was made from the cockpit of a German plane and the notice on it said that when WW2 ended there were a lot of planes that there was no use for so they turned a lot of them into cars. It was definitely different to any car I'd ever seen before. There was another unusual car too but I can't remember the details.
