Forum members,
Thanks to all who made me welcome.
Berni (I'm sure you'll make a good sheila),
If you are in Perth on Anzac Day (25 April - celebrates the first blooding of this nation in one of Churchill's grand schems), a mob of ex military vehicles (incl my Dodge), transports infirm Veterans in the Parade. You might find it interesting - it's possible we could even find you a seat !
I'd be happy to show you over the Museum during your stay - I'll send a PM.
Richard,
I was on the last trek (2005 to remove any confusion) in my S2A Landrover. Have a look at http://www.jack4carz.blinkz.com/ for a potted report on the trip. Many of those who took part were partly cooked leftovers from previous trips, including Henri de Wally, Bob Dimer, Tony Arrigo, Barefoot Charlie etc. 4000km and over 2500 of corrugated dirt !!!! John Williams was there as well in a stretched Ford Blitz.
Clive,
I was in touch with you before I came across to the US about Humbers - I think it was on another forum.
To everyone else - save your pennies and come for a visit. By the look of the news I've been following since I've been in the US, we need all the help we can get fighting bushfires !
All the best
Jack
