Bundy swim in
Here we are at Bundy, survived the weekend. We all had a great time thanks to the Walker family for their entertainment, we enjoyed the drives that were planned, and watching the vehicles going into the water and even having the odd ride. There were even interesting times when someone tried to pull his dog into his trailer in the water and he himself fell into the water, later on they were having a trailer race across a dam, the trailer was taking in water and the dog came and jumped into the trailer and the whole thing sunk to the bottom. They had a competition between the tracked vehicles to see who was best there was a M8 greyhound, LVT and a bren gun carrier, guess which one won. We flew up so we would have time to spend with our new mum, dad and uncle dry Bundy. We could get used to this weather up here. We will be flying out tomorrow all stocked up with our supplies.

Mr and Mrs Hedges invade Qld
The famous Yass couple invade Queensland. Both were seen in the back of a military vehicle last Sunday evening. No one was sure if it was the famous Yass duo at first as Mrs Hedges has never been caught seated in a military vehicle before today. But sure enough, their identity has been verified. Still not sure if they were on a "cross border raid" or just enjoying the Sunshine in Bundaberg.

A huge THANKS!!! to Arron, Gav, Rod, and Alan for their hospitality over the weekend. It was a terrific event and everyone had a really great time. the highlights for me were the midnight DUKW ride, the beach driving, the forest trip, the LVT ride, the LVT vs. Stuart race, the trailer race, Jeff floating his jeep in a tarp, and of course catching up with friends. I brought my little 1972 Amphicat six-wheeler in lieu of a finished Weasel (and had engine problems for most of the time).
Jeff and I paddled in the trailer race and came second, but at least we didn't sink! I was exhausted after that. A few pics follow. Some are video frame grabs, hence the reduced quality. Jeff floating his jeep. He reckoned it sat surprisingly level with the floor:  Using Sam's WWII Kenworth M1A1 Wrecker to lift the superstructure onto the other LVT:  Beach driving  The beautiful half-ton Dodge (WC-21 I think?) ploughing through a mud puddle on the way to the beach:  Riding in the half-Ton Dodge along the beach. What an experience, you wouldn't be dead for quids:  Some of the vehicles on the beach trip:  Weapons Carrier tyre print on sand:  Danny and Jason's WC-63, and actual Normandy veteran:  Half-ton Dodge:  A quick stop in the pine forest:  Steve.

 What a great weekend!!I too must thank Arron, Rod, Gav and Alan for all the work they have done to make it so good and spending the entire weekend giving us joy rides.  A big thanks to Sam Scholtz, Phill Lloyd, Wayne Kotz and M8 Steve for carting there large vehicles there and not being afraid to show us what there machines are capable of. Also a thanks to those who helped me float the jeep in a tarp. I was mildly confident we could do it until Saturday night Ian Greves told us the last time the club tried it in 1974 the tarp got a cut in it, the jeep sank and had to be recovered by a Diamond T wrecker. Thanks Ian! I am glad we did it unassisted by pumps, cranes or any modern technology.(apart from the black plastic, I was unsure how strong the old canvas was) I am already planing the next stunt with the Jeep. Cheers Jeff

I would like to thank everyone for coming and bringing their vehicles for a very enjoyable event. I wish I had more time to catch up with everyone but the LVT rides kept me pretty busy. Please keep the photos coming as I didn’t have my camera with me!!!!
Jeff, I have a few more ideas too!

Max and Kathy,
I hope you got to see some other sights in Bundy or was it just military vehicles.............  Anyway for those who may have missed Sam's amphibious landing from an LVT late Monday afternoon here are some pictures. The LVT is semi-floating and was initially taking water once the ramp came down.

Corowa of the north
Great to hear about the event and see the vehicles. Looks like you all had a terrific time. Impressed to see the Greyhound there (a long way) but even more impressed with the pic of Kathy and Max in the Jeep! Priceless!
Now to somehow lure her into a blitz for a pic.  I know what you mean about cold Kathy, I was in Canberra on Tuesday, but apparently it even snowed here in Melbourne.
