Corowa 2007

[Ozzie John & Fiona]

As the president of the KVE Inc (Khaki Vehicle Enthusiasts) group, it is gratifying to see that Corowa (NSW Australia) now has it's own sub-forum on Maple Leaf Up. I will use this site to inform and keep up to date matters relating to the Corowa event known as the Annual GPA Swim in and Military Rally. This year as stated earlier the theme was Staff Cars and Cycle. Of the 164 entries, 7 staff cars arrived, 33 motor cycles and several pushbikes registered. Unfortunately, the majestic Murray River that Corowa is nestled on, did not live up to it's reputation as a significant water source due to the drought, so the larger amphibious (DUKW) vehicles were unable to swim. Only one small GPA ventured into the water. It was down around 6'.

Each year, we get new participants attending this event from all over the world and we were honoured to host Geoff Winnington-Ball for the first time and he's looking over my shoulder right now.

We'll get back to you with other photos and more information when we can.
