The reports from people who are in the area indicate that there is a lot of water around. I have had a number of phone calls from people asking if the event will be cancelled. It would only be cancelled if the Corowa Shire contacted us and said not to come to town. With the amount of money we bring into town they will be welcoming us into town.

Two years ago when we had Year of the Jeep I remember the rainfall prior to the event and even over the first few days. We ended up with a record number of vehicles in town (266).

If we are unable to use the paddock at Corowa Airport there will be alternatives we can look at for the photoshoot.

One week today and I will be there.

Post Mud

The Corowa shire has done an excellent job on the river banks around ball park- they have built up the sand areas and reenforced the banks with logs & sandbags to create an area that makes it easier to park and alight water craft, and created some nice swimming spots, too.

However I guess that this will all be under water by the time we get there...
