2.30 and still raining, although I now have 6 interviews done.

Here's a frame grab from this morning...

Here's another grab of Manfred in his ex RAAF Dodge Command Car.

Great pics keith. Thanks for keeping those of us out of the loop in the loop.

The rain seems to have cleared, here's to a warm and clear day tomorrow for the parade and swap meet!

[Keith Webb]

The rain did indeed disappear and we had fabulous weather for the parade and display. As mentioned it was in a new location at the Corowa Racecourse and it worked very well. Here's the pic from the Cherry picker.

There were some 167 vehicles present (although not all were in this display) and 23 of these were 6X6 vehicles which was the theme for this year.

Here's most of the CMPs at Corowa for 2012, starting with Cameron Reed's new build F30/F60S Ford, then Len Schutt's C8AX, Rob Jacob's C60L, Euan McDonald's C15A, Max Hedge's F15A (The Girlfriend) and Tony Elliott's Cab 12 F60L.



And here it is from the other angle:



Cameron's presence was a terrific effort, with a huge amount of work done to get her here, untested, and it was a triumph including having to drive through torrential rain and darkness. He kindly let me take her for a drive around the river below the camping ground and it was a highlight of the event for me.

I havent downloded mine or Vicki's cameras yet but we had a great time in Corowa again. Dutchy made Gregs day when he gave him a marshiling job at the show ground. I hope everyone arrives home without incident and I got to put a fiew more faces to names on the forum.
