2012 Corowa Swim-In Year of the 6x6

[Keith Webb]

As most people who regularly attend Corowa will know I'm usually running around like a demented man filming while I'm at Corowa and don't have the luxury of time to sit around selling at the swap meet.

But I do have a visual list of some of the things I can bring if people let me know beforehand, such as those things on this page.

NOS Chev fuel senders


NOS Chev 216 exhaust manifolds



NOS Chev chassis rubber bumpers



NOS Studebaker hub sockets


Not illustrated here are some 1/2 ton Dodge front axles with CV joints (short side only) but I do have both types of CV joints. These are NOS.

I also have sets of Carrier spring bolts with nuts (8 in a set). If you let me know by Wednesday I can bring these with me.

From Scott Rough, KVE committee member, copied from another forum;

"Yes the council has declared their parts of the airport out of Bounds.

This does not mean those privately owned sections are covered in this closure. The Jumpshak is one such operation and will be functioning as per usual with their Breakfast, Lunch and Dinners, so pleae continue your support.

The Jumpshak has indictated that they can accomodate some camping on their land and if anyone who has booked to camp at the airport can see what she has available.

Times like these are not common and changes are inevitable so please be patient as information is sorted and conveyed.

Please remember that there is NO camping and access on the council owned land and expect to be asked to move on if you do.


So see you all down there and remember this is fun."


Corowa Swim-In attendees, please continue to support the Jump Shak as you have done in the past. Tabitha and Tim will have the good food as usual.

Hopefully I won't see anything I need at the swap meet as funds were drained a bit when I had to pay $8.25/ Kg for 800Kg of steak

Hope you didn't eat it all at once, Robert. You would have needed a lot of English Mustard!

I thought everyone was growing Wagyu or Angus beef these days, probably why you had to pay so much for rare beef!

It's O.K. we still raise poll herefords!

It's just after 8AM here Friday and we've had another rainy night; it's just started to rain again with some heavy rain forecast.

Hopefully this will pass leaving lots of mud along the river.
