Bundaberg Swim In

[incisor]

my compliments to the Walker bros and the MJCQ for another excellent weekend in bundaberg.

Thanks to all the people that went out of their way to make the event the success it was.

Hard to beat a great weekend spent with friends and acquaintances at an activity such as that and to top it off dear old madge managed 16 mpg on the round trip which is not too bad at all considering the load :p

off to look for some pics i took at oakey a couple of years ago.. to the tune of buffalo rider.....

pics of the original "cyclone" engine in a buffalo for those with an interest.

MJCQ we thank you again for a terrific event.

We have been several years now and always a good event to ex-mil enthusiasts and some new enlists;) We all had a terrific time it seems:D

P.S. have sent a personel MSG to Arron Walker and the MJCQ for having us.

Finally got some photos up to the web. See here MJCQ Bundaberg Swim In 2013 album | TimJ | Fotki.com, photo and video sharing made easy. (http://public.fotki.com/TimJ4blue/mjcq-bundaberg-swim/).

No attempt to sort or edit them, just loaded them up.

Had a great weekend, as Dan said there are some seriously fun toys there :).

Have to admit I was pretty worn out by the time we got home after 5pm on Monday. It's not a lot of fun driving in the rain at the end of a long drive.

Cheers,

Tim.
