Default Just like being there

So many pics , just like being there . MLU ers shoot and snap anything in sight . I heard the weather forecast and decided to give it a miss . I had gone through a previous distressing experience of Corowa in 1983 .. bloody hot it was and the Fordson WOT2 motor boiled on the way up. A mobile sauna bath it was .The supermarket would have been a popular spot this year ... nice and cool .

The yellow White OP scout car: restored by John Mackie of Hilston NSW ( it was at the 2007 event ).

Possibly they could hold the event a week or two later, but the heat wave thing is relatively rare in March and the organisers were unlucky it turned out that way. Mother nature again had her say .

I've also noted the lack of local population turning out to watch the parade over the years .... Probably , In their eyes , I guess one green machine looks like another .
