Hello all once again. We are now back on the road again. Sorry for the lack of reports over the past week but the truth is we have been busy enjoying ourselves at the Rally. It has been a busy but fun week with lots of touring and interesting places to visit. While at the rally we covered a distance of over 500 km/310 miles in our Model A as well as over 200 km touring in a Double Decker Bus. We have visited a number of wineries, a Brewery, a chocolate factory, a Cheese factory, a Nougah factory and a nut factory. Needless to say our waist lines are showing the signs of over indulgence and much sampling of the products.
A couple of highlights of the rally include a visit to what I would consider the best Heritage Display you would find in Australia. (Dardanup Heritage Park)
Also a night at the Drive-in Movies where a special screening was put on for the Rally participants. Over 100 Model A's at the Drive-in movie was a sight to behold. The Gangster movie set in 1931 was an appropriate and popular choice.
The rally ended on Friday night with a gala presentation dinner with lots of fine food and drinks.
We departed Busselton on Sunday morning and headed north to New Norcia a distance of 375km/233 miles where are camped for the night. Before leaving New Norcia we will be doing a guided tour of a Benedictine Monastery established in 1847 and is still going today. It is unique in that the whole town including over 5000 acres is owned by the order. Most of the buildings are now heritage listed.
To-date we have now travelled 6841 km/4313 miles and are still not quite half way home.
Included in the pictures are three non A Model pics. These are Iconic Australian cars which have never been restored and are extremely low mileage cars in as new condition. All other pics are of rally participants.
Cheers until the next report.
