Here are some of the cars taking part. We are into the fourth day tomorrow.

There are in excess of 100 cars in all.
Lots of narrow sealed country roads on which to travel. Unfortunately, for the first time ever, my car is back on the trailer with problems I will have to sort out at home.

Beautiful Springtime rally :D I love the multi colors - and the uncommon (to me) body styles. Thanks Allan

Allan, That looks to be a fun time. I really like the black coupe with the red rims and pinstripes, the red really sets it off. Jim

The first photo shows two of our favourite vehicles. My son likes the cream tourer with the green fenders. It is a Duncan and Fraser coachbuilt car with all leather upholstery lots of brass fittings and a wonderful patina.
The depot hack with the Silver City Parcel Express logo is an unrestored original. The Silver City is Broken Hill, a silver lead and zinc mining town in far west New South Wales. Some of the locals hated to see it leave their town.

Here's a few more pictures from the rally. It was a wonderful week of touring around some delightful historical locations in an area established from the discovery of gold in the late 1800's. Lots of beautiful buildings and nice quiet country roads to drive on. Caught a picture of Allan working away at a lunch stop repairing a noisy fan, also another entrant adjusting bands! Around 450 miles travelled for the week.
