Rotowhero
Where does that name come from? Roto = inner,inside, or lake.
Whero is red as in colour. "The Red Centre? A Maori named truck relating to the middle of Australia. Is there a story behind that name on the Chev?

Also some short snippets on Youtube, Saracen drive, Stalwart on the move and the Hummer finally getting the tank to tow start.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTuYv_yWmEs My thanks as always to the organising crew. I missed the MLU get together as well. My tip for next year, do not share a small room with world class snorers. Finally got an hours sleep in the back of the Humber, but was asleep on my feet by lunchtime. So it was home to bed. STILL feeling sorry for myself.... Rich.

My return to Corowa
I just got back home to the UK yesterday. My ten days at Corowa were very enjoyable, catching up with many old friends, and meeting some new faces whom I had only communicated by internet. Thank you to everyone who made me most welcome there. This was my 5th visit to the event, but not having been since 2001, it is now much larger of course, but the friendly atmosphere is still there. With so many things to do and people to talk to, I am sorry if I missed anyone.
regards, Richard
