No worries everyone, it’s easy to just drop a few lines to let you know it’s all going well  ;D.
Every day more Mokes arrive, so many really nice Mokes too, each and every one of them  ;) 8) 8)
Another top day here, and again, the weather order was spot on  :).
Nearly 40 Mokes mustered this morning, and we all tried again to stay in convoy as best as we could and headed out to the Fleet Air Arm Museum 8). Went really well actually.





The Museum staff were great, and The Old Fart done well to organise it all for us. My IPhone pics really do not give it the justice it deserves, but it does give you a bit of an idea of the visit.
Bloody awesome museum by the way, the Air Wing have kept some great kit and set it up well.

From here we all set off on our own adventures  :)
A small group we were in decided that Berry was a nice destination to go to for lunch, and lucky for us, local Drew( Belbray ) was heading the same way and offered to lead us via the back roads  8), thanks Drew, it was an awesome run and was great to spend time with you having lunch and a walk around town.
It was back to Huskisson to find that it had rained a bit here, never saw a drop on our run all day, but the roads here sure had water in big puddles.

We have another international visitor here from the US just for the event( he has a ‘74 Moke), a really nice bloke, and he said to me “ this is more fun than Disney Land”  ;D, says it all really  ;D

Thanks HP
It was a  good fun day and enjoyed catching up with you all at the Museum . I was glad to be able to show some back roads and a bit of scenery of my local area. What more could you ask for great weather, good food and travelling in our Mokes with great people.
It was good to put a face to the names on the forum . It was a good turnout of Mokes at Huskisson yesterday where everyone came together.
Safe Journey
Drew.

Post 2 of 2.....

Day 5, rest day, but Kangaroo Valley revisited

Tallowa Dam:


Cambewarra Mtn Lookout:


Evening sausage sizzle dinner:






Day 6, Point Perpendicular Lighthouse





Afternoon run to Jerrawangala Lookout:






Day 7, Fleet Air Arm Museum

Morning Muster:

Day 8, Voyager Park Huskisson













Day 9, Wineries

This was the last day of scheduled activities and we parted ways with the group here and headed for home.  Once again it was very enjoyable catching up with familiar faces and meeting new ones, and everyone seemed to be having a ball throughout. It was a very full on and fun week. Colin and Jan did an 'amazying' job organising and running it, and the scenery, well, it spoke for itself. ;)

How many photos did you get through this meet Mazy?

I'm sure you've got some great shots in that collection of yours.

Was good to see you and Allen.

Thanks for sharing

It was good that SandG were able to come along, some major works to Sahara dust meant it wasn’t quite ready for Jervis Bay. So happy they brought Gulliver and their camper along. Set up a treat.





So many nice Mokes, and Samm’s Moke stood out for me, being a St George fan had nothing to do with it  ;) , its a fine Moke in its own right  8).


I’ll get a few more up soon, but if you were there, please put up a pic or two.
