Today I took Daisy out on a Jeep Club outing. Good weather and a good turn up of vehicles. About 12-13 Jeeps (mixture of Ford and Willys) a couple of Studebakers, a C15 Blitz, an Austin Champ, my Rover, a Chev staff car, a couple of motor cycles and an assortment of plastic.
A good day weather wise and outing wise, departing the southern suburbs of Brisbane around 0830 and travelling via a scenic route through the local sugar cane farms around the Jacob's Well area to Pimpama where a heritage village is situated. We went to visit a display that is located in this area, namely the WWll Army Hospital ship Krawarree, a Huon Pine hulled vessel that was commissioned by the Australian Army during WWll to be used as a "sea Ambulance" ferrying wounded from shore to Hospital ships off shore.
En route we called in to a very interesting site in the Underwood are for a bit of a talk on "days gone by".
Was a good day out and not only did I enjoy the day out but it is great to be able to get out and go for a run in the old vehicles every now and then.
Regards
Glen
