Corowa 2020

[Richard Farrant]

Here is the LARC V belonging to Trevor Vuillermin on Lake Moodamere. Trevor enjoys the event and is always keen for people to ride on his vehicle and share the experience. There was a second LARC V this year, but sadly it failed, when the radiator broke loose. We had 3 DUKW's and 4 GPA's at the event as well.

The numbers of vehicles were up by 10 this year. Quite surprising considering the fires and floods early in the year.
