Arron,
I am really looking forward to it!
Here are some photo's from "Bundy 07"
It is the perfect weekend to bring the family.
My kids had a ball last year riding in all kinds of MV's.
Cheers

That ride on Sam's Kenworth was a lot of fun as was the whole weekend. I had my arm out in your photo because I was videoing at the time.
Jeff I agree your kids really enjoyed themselves, including riding in the Coot and Amphicat too.
This year I'm looking forward to going swimming in the LVT, DUKW and jeep-in-a-tarp, and if things go well there might also be Weasel rides this year

I've just put Arron's latest BUNDY SWIM-IN 2009 flyer up on the MJCQ website:

Note the Events schedule and location map is on page 2.
Click on the thumbnails to download the PDFs and print them off, or view as JPEGs if you prefer.

Aaron and Steve,
Good luck with your QLD Swim-In.
Sorry you couldn't make it to Corowa. It was a great week.
We won't be able to make yours as Jill and I will be in France for D-day +65, and later at War And Peace at Beltring UK.
Regards Rick.

Arron,
Late this afternoon Peter Greer got his fathers Victor outboard going and we took my trailer for a swim at Bunya crossing. Besides a few motor problems it went really well.
No leaks.
There is heaps of water there at the moment.
A few onlookers were scratching there heads.
We are going to give it another crack after a few motor repairs then we will be ready to race.
The no.4 Aussie trailer floats a lot better than any other trailer because they are so much lighter.
Cheers
Jeff

Hi all,

The swim-in is only 4 weeks away........ I can't wait it's going to be great. Anyway I’ve had quite a few people register but if you still haven’t told me please let me know soon.

Here are some photos from the May Day weekend to wet your appetite.

Regards
Arron
