Well done Tony, Mrs.Cove is really known simply as 'Jill'. Thanks for naming all those in the photo as I missed a couple of them myself. It was great to meet and catch up with those, who until then had just been a name on the computer screen.

Default Carbon Neutral??

Not sure if these were the cheapest vehicles to run for the weekend, but entertaining nevertheless. And echoing everyone else, what a fantastic weekend (even if mildly warm). Can't wait until next year!!

Mike Cecil was there too although unfortunately I didn't get a chance to meet him.

Terrific photos...
Well I was on my way to Corowa this year, but never got there. I had a 6-day weekend arranged, and had flown out from Brisbane to Dubbo, intending to be picked up on the way through by a mate of mine hauling some jeep bodies, chassis and motors down to Corowa.

It was only after I arrived at Dubbo airport I got a distressed and apologetic call that his Land Rover Disco had blown a head gasket outside of Coonabarabran. Thus ended my hopes to get there. Sorry to the people I had arranged to meet, it was out of my control.

However all was not lost for my trip. We managed to salvage a few days and go recover something that I'm sure folks on this Board will be quite interested to hear about - more to come when I prepare some information about it.

Steve.
