Justin,
The Shire of Corowa, who I might add support the Corowa Swim-In wholeheartedly, wrote to KVE Inc. (who are just a volunteer group of people trying to gve all ex-military people a good time), on the 8th March and advised that, because of the waterlogged surface to the Airport, for this year only the Airport is closed to camping and to the Swap Meet and Display day. The Airport is not closed to usual airport business. The Jump Shak is a seperate concern. It is run by Tabitha and Tim who make us all most welcome. KVE Inc. asks you to support them as in the past as it is not their fault the weather has caused this problem. KVE Inc has arranged, with the help of the Corowa Shire, alternative camping arrangements to suit everyone concerned. There are few alternative places available where you can be close to your vehicle either soft skin or armoured. Bindaree Caravan has been seen as the best alternative for this year. Bindaree Caravan Park did not had sites available as you say, but with the Shires help they have made an area available to suit us. The Caravan park is close to the Stock Yards and it is there that we may have to hold the Display Day and Swap Meet. There are no secret deals going on as has been suggested by a few protaganists, Bindaree Caravan park owners were not even aware until 8.30 at night on the 8th March that there was a problem and they have bent over backwards to help KVE Inc. to obtain a satisfactory result for all concerned. Please remember KVE Inc is run by volunteers who have lost a lot of sleep over this issue but have done the best to help all concerned. We will be back at the Airport next year, weather permitting. so please be patient and enjoy "The Year of the 6X6". Rick Cove President KVE Inc.

Swap meet
As most people who regularly attend Corowa will know I'm usually running around like a demented man filming while I'm at Corowa and don't have the luxury of time to sit around selling at the swap meet.
But I do have a visual list of some of the things I can bring if people let me know beforehand, such as those things on this page. NOS Chev fuel senders  NOS Chev 216 exhaust manifolds  NOS Chev chassis rubber bumpers  NOS Studebaker hub sockets  Not illustrated here are some 1/2 ton Dodge front axles with CV joints (short side only) but I do have both types of CV joints. These are NOS. I also have sets of Carrier spring bolts with nuts (8 in a set). If you let me know by Wednesday I can bring these with me.

More info on Corowa
From Scott Rough, KVE committee member, copied from another forum;
"Yes the council has declared their parts of the airport out of Bounds. This does not mean those privately owned sections are covered in this closure. The Jumpshak is one such operation and will be functioning as per usual with their Breakfast, Lunch and Dinners, so pleae continue your support. The Jumpshak has indictated that they can accomodate some camping on their land and if anyone who has booked to camp at the airport can see what she has available. Times like these are not common and changes are inevitable so please be patient as information is sorted and conveyed. Please remember that there is NO camping and access on the council owned land and expect to be asked to move on if you do. So see you all down there and remember this is fun." Corowa Swim-In attendees, please continue to support the Jump Shak as you have done in the past. Tabitha and Tim will have the good food as usual.
