Visits by Jeep NSW & Off the Black

The last month has seen another two "New" clubs visit the block. Firstly Ken and son Kelis lead the Jeep NSW convoy in a well presented GU,Ray and John in another GU(will they never stop coming)and finally my dream to see a CJ7 on the block was finally realised,thank you Daveand son Damien, what a beautiful purr from the V8 motor that could be head from anywhere in the valley.

Last weekend had the members of Off the Black, a western Sydney based club visit, with Danny being trip leader in a nice Red Hilux Duel Cab. An old school mate I hadn't seen in 25 odd years tagged along in a Patrol GU, Shane in an unstoppable Pajaro, Dave in a Gu and not a bad Kiwi bloke Jim in a very unique GQ.
Very wet conditions had everyone sliding around with Diff locks and very agressive mud tyres being the choice to get anywhere, poor old 80 Series spent quite a bit of time at camp site.
Comment must be made of a very industrious young man droving his TONKA Truck with precision to help move firewood to an awaiting trailer.

To both clubs thank you for a very enjoyable weekend, pity the choice of music once again deteriates around the camp fire as the night grows old, but no Kum by Yah at least.
