During my tour to Australia I also visited Melbourne. Not much military but lots of government and rescue stuff is based ate the old airport called Essendon.
Here are some pictures and fortunately the report about the Victoria Police Air Wing is also now online.

Very nice to see "Elsie" again.
I saw the N216/AC in July 2009 on the Greek island of Zakynthos during a forest fire.
Very nice pictures, thanks for sharing.
