Friday morning
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.

Saturday display
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.
