PRESIDENT’S REPORT

Another great month of activities with club wide participation. It is encouraging to see new members roll-

ing up and joining; let’s continue to make them welcome.

I attended the All French Day in Brisbane which turned out to be excellent. We came away with the best

Peugeot but I think the judges need new glasses. There was a great array of Renaults, even two trac-

tors, an old racing Amilcar and the usual spread of quirky but impeccable Citroens. I would like to add a

few of them to my stable, tres interesting.

A large selection of crepes was for sale but no snails this year. I suppose you can’t have everything. I

am still wondering if they sold kippers in Brown sauce at the Brisbane All British Day, or all sorts of

sausage and wurst at the German Car Day.

As I have travelled around and seen various shows over the last few months; French, Jaguar, Jowett

and All British in Tasmania etc, I realise how outstanding some of our vehicles are. In fact, most of them

are. Perhaps we take it for granted, but Summerland provides a very creditable display any time we

congregate.

The variety of marques and ages is interesting in its own right, but the quality of presentation of original

and restored vehicles makes us a class event, anywhere, anytime. The owners and drivers are pretty

good too, although some are more weathered original than restored, even if some have used a few

spare parts!

A pat on our collective backs. Lets just keep motoring.

RECENT EVENTS - COFFEE RUN 11th

July ,2018

Club members had a beautiful crisp winter day to enjoy our run to Evans Head. We were

farewelled on our journey by Ray & Dianna Collingwood’s granddaughter and her beautiful

daughter (their great granddaughter) who entertained the group by checking out Rudy’s

convertible before we left.

We took a scenic tour via Tregeagle, Meerschaum Vale and Woodburn. Members enjoyed the

run alongside the river to Woodburn and we arrived for a lovely morning tea at Vespers on Oak

at Evans Head.

It was great to see a good rollup once again. We were looked after by the staff at Vespers and

club members enjoyed their outing. Jeff Johnston

RECENT EVENTS- CHRISTMAS IN JULY 15th July 2018

A wonderful day was held for Club members on Sunday 15th July. Firstly there was a short run to

the Pioneer Tavern at Wollongbar where club members were entertained by Bush Poet, Paddy

O’Brien from Mt Burrell. This was enjoyed by the members and thanks to Paddy for his efforts in

making the morning tea stop so enjoyable.

From here members drove onto the Ballina RSL where they enjoyed an excellent Christmas in

July lunch and cake amid further jokes and poems by club members. The cake was beautifully

presented and was enjoyed by the members. Prizes for poems and jokes were won by David

Hughes, Barbara Hodgson and Ken Bryce. The Trivia questions competition was won by quiz

guru Rudy de Paauw and the” smarties guessing” was won by Barry Granatelli . Overall it was a

very enjoyable day and special thanks to Heather Sidney and her band of helpers for their efforts

in making this a truly memorable event for the club.

SIX – NO, SEVEN WEEKS ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Richard Swinton for Summerland Sports and Classic Car Club

I promised in an earlier article to tell you the story of my trip to the Northern Territory way back before I

married.

As I said before, I developed a love of four wheel driving while working for a minerals exploration company

in the north west of Australia; and bought myself a Series 2A SWB hard-

top land rover – probably ex airforce because it was bright yellow.

I joined a four wheel drive club in Melbourne and spent most of my

spare time driving the old girl in club mud rallies and exploration trips in

the Victorian Alps. Disappearing into muddy holes, winching up

impossible slopes, drying out the ignition over and over again; That was

most weekends. Any spare days spent working on the old girl.

The club had a conservation philosophy and we ensured that the fire

trails and other tracks we used were better after we went through than

before. We corduroyed mudholes with branches, filled holes, and cleared fallen trees to make easier for

fire trucks.

One of our members had a dairy farm up in the mountains which he threw open to the club after the winter

floods had subsided. His bottom paddock needed ploughing and reseeding

each spring, but before he did that, we organised a mud race – who could be

quickest around a marked course – if you could get around at all!

I spent spare days off working on the landrover, fitting a Holden 186 engine,

extra fuel tanks, a water tank, compartments for carrying camping gear,

longer spring shackles, etc.

Then my leave was due and a mate from work, Eric, and I headed off on a

roundabout trip to Darwin and back.

I had recently become engaged and my fiancé was planning to come with

us, but when we arrived at her parents farm her mother vetoed that idea -

“You’re not married – She can’t go!!” So on the day we were leaving the farm, my fiancé's father, Bill,

came up and asked if he could travel with us as far as Alice Springs. He offered to show us some of the

country he used to Jackeroo in. We agreed and set off with him – it was only later I found out that the day

we left was my fiancé's mothers birthday and I was NOT a popular boy – even many years later!!

We went north to Ivanhoe near where Bill had jackerooed but he damaged his ankle while climbing the

rough hills. We strapped it up, visited beautiful Mootwingee National park with lots of aboriginal art and

rock petroglyphs, then to Broken Hill and the mines, but when we arrived at Port Augusta, I insisted he go

to the hospital. Lo and behold, he had torn the archilles tendon off his ankle! No wonder he was limping!

But he insisted he stay with us on our trip to Ayers Rock (now Uluru). He even tried to climb the rock!

We explored the Olgas and then headed off to Alice Springs where we put Bill on a plane back to what I

suspect was a chilly reception at home.

Eric and I dropped into a bar for a beer, but it was almost undrinkable.

‘What do you expect’, said the barman, ‘you’re in the abo’s bar!’ We

were drinking all the spillings, etc. We were horrified and shocked at the

racism and left pretty quickly.

We got a permit to drive through Yuendemu Aboriginal reserve north

west of Alice, where I had an aboriginal painting done on the door of the

land rover.

I had brought paint for the job, but I should have taken the door off

and laid it flat. The enamel paint didn’t behave like ochre and kept

running down and the artist kept trying to smudge back with his

finger! Cost me $20 – I wonder what it would be worth now – or

even has it survived?

From Yuendemu, We headed north west up the Tanami Desert

track, then just a bulldusty wheel rutted track through the scrub

with abandoned cars acting as markers confirming we were still on

track. The Tanami gold fields were well worth exploring and we

were astonished at the old steam engines and stampers and other abandoned heavy machinery that,

way back in the 20s, must have been brought out into the desert on the backs of model T fords!

The remains of the mudbrick Police Station at Halls Creek signalled the end of the track and we headed

north west to Wyndham with its 30 foot tides and the Indian ocean. We loved the pub, old pearling

luggers and the old Chinese stores, but I suspect tourism has ruined that place now.

We headed east along the Duncan Highway, but this took us through the area where I was exploring for

copper as mentioned in the part one of the story in the last newsletter. ‘If we head up that track there

behind that windmill’, I said to Eric, ‘we’ll end up at the abandoned Flora Station Homestead. Let’s go and

camp there’.

So off we went and settled on the veranda of the old homestead to eat a campfire cooked dinner.

Suddenly bright headlights focussed on us and a stentorian voice asked us what the hell we were doing.

We explained and were told to wait there. The vehicle went around the back of the homestead and

disappeared. Half an hour later they came back and had obviously accepted our story – they thought we

might be cattle rustlers! The mustering camp was behind a hill and they had come to pick up the head

stockman who had been rolled by his horse and had a suspected broken back. Now they were short of a

driver, so I volunteered to drive the bull catchers Toyota back to Ord River station – at night on a rough

bush track without headlights! Pity the poor stockman lying on the tray of a landcruiser. They suggested I

follow in their lights, but I found it impossible – and it was a full moon. Incredible how much I remembered

of the track from a few years before, so I let them get way ahead and drove by myself by moonlight – a

wonderful experience once my eyes adjusted.

At Ord River station, I managed to jerry rig the ignition wiring on the old bull catchers truck which the

bush rats had eaten out, and the bull catcher – a real wild man – asked if we could work with him for a

while, so for a week we went out to catch wild bulls using the cut down Toyota bullcatching vehicle. It had

a massive bullbar with tyres bolted to it, no cab except a roll bar and flat tray. The idea was to literally run

them over and then strap their front legs together and hold their head stretched out with a rope attached

to their horns so they couldn’t get up. Then I would drive the 4WD Bedford truck up to the bull and the

Toyota would hook up a cable over the truck crate and literally drag the bull up a ramp into the truck

where their horns were chained to the top bar of the crate – all facing the same way. With six heavy-

weights on board the poor old Bedford was very top heavy and every time I went round a bend in the

road, all the bulls would lean to one side or the other depending on the camber. I had to quickly zip over

to the opposite side of the road before we tipped over, only for the event

to be repeated endlessly in a series of swooping S curves across the

road.

There are lots of stories about the week including helping at a helicopter

muster, and drafting bulls off a giant mob (during which I lost my

thumbnail in a yard gate, Oww!) The bull catcher lost his temper with a

bull that baulked in the race as we were loading them and he grabbed an

axe off the catchers truck and jumped up on the race and split its skull!!

We all just quietly disappeared until he calmed down.

We left Ord River Station and headed towards Kununurra. On the way I managed to break an axle on a

sand dune. We pulled out the axle and drove in front wheel drive back to Ord River Station where we

asked if we could order parts over the flying doc radio and work until the parts arrived. ‘Hold on a minute’

said the mechanic. Why don’t you look in our dump. I think there are some old landies there. Sure

enough, and not only did we get a new axle and diff, but they were ex military +30 stronger parts!! So we

swapped the whole caboodle..and they filled us up with petrol when we left – a sort of payment for the

work we had done.

We visited Kununurra and the Ord River Dam (which was still being built when I worked up there a few

years before) and then on to Katherine. We stopped to stare at a cattle road train that had run off the

road and speared into the opposite bank of a deep creek cutting. There were dead cattle everywhere – all

the injured ones had been shot by police. The truck cab was less than half a meter front to back and they

had to cut the drivers body out.

At Timber creek, the next roadhouse, it was the talk of the bar, and the drivers blamed the recent repair

of the bridge approach which was still gravel awaiting sealing. They suspected the driver was half asleep

driving on the bitumen and when he heard gravel he instinctively swerved – off the road into the creek!

Finally we arrived in Katherine.

Still a long way to go, but I’ll keep that for the next newsletter. Richard Swinton
