Aussies in Switzerland
The convoy arrived yesterday in Switzerland. After driving over the Simplon Pass and boarding the trucks onto train waggons through the Furka tunnel (pass is still closed till the end of June because of heavy snow coverage, the convoy drove through the narrow Schöllenen Schlucht. Driving down from Realp to Altdorf, we picked up some lost "sheep" ;-)
The convoy was greated by 50% of the Swiss-MLU population and 100% of the Aussie-MLU-Expads in Germany (Ben). I took the Hedges in the evening to Lucerne, where we had a lovely dinner. Today is another beautiful sunny day. Yesterday the temperature went up to 28 or so degrees! The convoy drives from Seelisberg and crosses the border to France. In Mulhouse they'll visit the Schlumpf Collection. Greetings Chris

Chris good to see that you and Ben have caught up with the convoy. Are they all travelling well and it must be a thrill for you to see the ute you drove to Corowa turn up in Switzerland.

Swiss Aussies
Wonderful to see some of us there! That pic with the ute could easily have been taken in Yass...
Thanks for sharing the pics, Chris! Any more?

ARP stuff
Seen to the right of the ute , is a pile of dirt . Is that a slit trench ? Now that's a keen addition to the whole atmosphere of the camp site.
BTW at a local dispoosals store last Saturday, I spotted for sale - A 1918 vintage military horse drawn wagon, made in Switzerland . A 1959 Swiss made .5 metre searchlight with generator and a 1944 2 wheeled cart , Swiss made . All items were in original cond. Mike
