Landies are creeping up on the jeeps, but a way to go yet. At least we outnumbered the Champs

I have about 380 photos, plus another 290 odd of documents that are stored at bandiana. I'll probably post some later this week. probably about 5-6 gb of images all up!

(1) The answer to your question: an American halftrack.

(2) All Ryan's photos are coming up for me, must be on your end. Try a refresh.

Default Great fun in 08

Raylene and I had a blast at this our first Corowa. Although the heat at times was pretty intense, meeting many MLU faces kept the smile on ours.
The people, the vehicles and the local pubs all impressed. Sorry I didn't get to meet all those that were there and sorry for the no-show at the MLU group photo ( a case of wires crossed ). When will that be posted?
Here's a few snaps I took during our visit.

Default last one

I was wondering if someone was going to mention saturday night. Hope there are no negative consequences for following years.
The last pics is of Rod Diery, myself and Tony Smith before the saturday night " Corowa moment".

Default names

I'll do the front row
Robert.. Keith.. me... Ben and Mark who are the Gruber brothers and they also drove our carrier for the day
I managed to catchup with a couple MLU and put faces to names, and it was nice to meet Rod who came all the way from WA. I enjoyed my walk around the caravan park catching up with old friends and having many cuppa's with them on the way.

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.
