Hello Land Rover Fans - its great that 100 AULRO Land Rover fans have had a look at the Festival on www.aeclrf.com.au (http://www.aeclrf.com.au) I had thought that the Land Rover community would relish the opportunity to catch up and exchange ideas and generally have a good jibber about all things Land Rover.
We have a good range of series vehicles attending right through to current models.
The event is in its first year and I hope to build the event in future years.

We have some Range Roverers coming from Queensland, a series 2 from Roma and a good number of Sydney, Canberra and more local people including a S2b, so if you wondering whether to come, drop me an email or call for a jibber

Peter,
I'll be there, and suspect that there will be other AULRO members too, as this gives us a good opportunity to put faces and vehicles to the usernames we see so often here.
Will there be an opportunity during the events, for a AULRO Land Rovers group photo?

[series2110]

Thanks Michael, Photo opp sounds great and plenty of room for that
Theres also plenty of camping space available so the AULRO contingent can camp together if they wish

[Cobber]

Pity it's not a couple of weeks later or I might be able to attend!

I wish you success with the event, and look forward to seeing some stories and pictures here :)

Got back from it a couple of hours ago...

Thanks Peter - I had a wonderful time - really enjoyed it.

[Cobber]

Terrific :BigThumb:
How many vehicles came along?

[drifter]

I really have no idea - vehicles were coming and going at different times.

I didn't get there until midday Saturday and by Sunday morning some had already left (including a beautiful 1948 Series 1 that I didn't get a chance to photograph).

[rrturboD]

There were about 50 vehicles registered I think, lots more Land Rovers though, people must have come just to look, rather than participate!

Saturday afternoon we were invited to visit a neighbouring property, to get a good view of the Grabine & dam area, here are a couple of snaps of the afternoon tour.
