Max and Kathy,

I hope you got to see some other sights in Bundy or was it just military vehicles.............

Anyway for those who may have missed Sam's amphibious landing from an LVT late Monday afternoon here are some pictures.

The LVT is semi-floating and was initially taking water once the ramp came down.

Don't worry Max has some old freinds in Hervey Bay (as he hasn't seen them for quite some time they were surprised as to how old he looked) and I made sure I got to the Bundy rum factory, Gloria directed me there and even though I don't drink the stuff I purchased 8 bottles and some other things. Hope some of the other people got to the factory as well. We should've stayed in QLD longer as the temp has been below 10 during the day since we got home. We heard a lot of good comments about you and your family over the weekend and the great entertainment you all put on. At least your nephew Jack (who made friends with Max on the DUKW) has the same thoughts as me (I swore when my chair moved during the big splash) when his uncle Gavin was driving and he told him not to do that again. Thanks again for allowing us to visit.

Great to hear about the event and see the vehicles. Looks like you all had a terrific time. Impressed to see the Greyhound there (a long way) but even more impressed with the pic of Kathy and Max in the Jeep! Priceless!

Now to somehow lure her into a blitz for a pic.

I know what you mean about cold Kathy, I was in Canberra on Tuesday, but apparently it even snowed here in Melbourne.

Hi all - I heard about it on the grapevine but when I saw the photograph I knew that the world as we know it has finished. KATHY IN A GREEN MACHINE. Max, Max, lock up the tunnels before Kathy starts roaming through them to select some vehicles for herself.

Guess I won't get a Xmas Card this year.
