Well, we're home from the wettest Bendigo Swap Meet I've ever been too. This was the 35th and I have been to 31 of them. I missed out on one a few years ago which was also wet and one of the first ever held which was also wet. So 3 wet ones in 35 years is not too bad.

How did we go? Made a quid or two, didn't buy much but caught up with many, many friends. Thats what is more important to me.

What did we see? Well not much as quite a few sights had covers over them. My next door neighbour didn't even unpack his trailer. Mud up to 4" deep kept me away from some sites.

One set of Studebaker US6 exhaust pipes went to Darwin along with some 40mm. Bofors rounds. Some White Scoutcar parts found a new home and I sold the majority of early 1916/18 Dodge stuff I took with me.

I've still got plenty of NOS Stude US6 engine and tail pipes if anyone needs any $50-00 for the two pipes. (plus freight)

John Parker from Sydney had a terrible swap as you couldn't get to his site for the mud. John is seen at many swaps with mostly military bits.

As I said it was good to catch up with many friends and quite a few from MLU.Regards Rick.
