Entry is in but haven't booked accommodation yet.
We're considering two stops (overnights) down and slow return via the Great Ocean Road.  :what:
I'm thinking Narrandera and Renmark or there about as overnights but am open to alternates if there is a convoy.
Is anyone taking a lead on the trip?

We won't be able to make it this time, but if anyone wants info on The Great Ocean Road we can put them in touch with some of our Melbourne Corvette members for assistance.

Thanks Bob, but unfortunately can't fit everything in this time.

I'm sure you guys will have fun without us. ( and a few glasses of Barossa's best )

At Corvettes of SA's general meeting Wednesday night, they drew out the Early Bird prize for the Convention.

Congratulations to Kevin Tresidder of Corvette’s Down Under who has won a free entry into the Convention.

Day 2 Narrandera to Renmark.
Managed to dodge the local constabulary to arrive safely at Renmark :nono:. Sitting on the side of the truckies channel proved interesting as they gave a running commentary regarding the "Corvette snake" down the Sturt Highway. :drag:
Dinner at Renmark Hotel overlooking the mighty Murray with great friends was magnificent. :cheers:

Great photos sabre and the trailer is incredible. It makes a trip to the Vines easy especially with the kitchen sink in the trailer. We all wish every one all the best. Chris and Sandy  :thumb:

Winners are grinners! :grin:
John Macrae won C3 personal and Mal and I scored runner up in C3 and C4 personal respectively.
Murray and Wendy Forman scored a win in the C2 category and won the perpetual American Spirit award. Sorry the photo is not the best.
On a sad note, one of our new members, Deb Groat, lost her father in a road accident during the weekend. Neil and Deb left before the Show 'n' Shine which put a bit of a downer on the weekend. Our thoughts are with Deb and Neil and their family during this time.
