The Museum was the idea and work of John Methven O.A.M. and his wife Krishna from their home at Phillip Island.
The set below shows their trip around Australia with a group of bike riders to raise money and support for Legacy and to promote the Vietnam Veterans Association. They started at Melbourne and visited all major city's around Australia. The trip finished at Sydney and John and Krishna then returned to Melbourne.
They then proceeded to upgrade their collection and open up their first museum.
