Description:

We started off at Bunnings at Munno Para, with 7 cars, our first stop was Truro where we enjoyed a nice lunch at the bakery. Then off to our accommodation at the Berri Hotel, once we all checked in we went and washed our cars ready for the Waikerie show n shine the next day. We had a couple of late comer arrived and we all sat down for a meal together at the hotel.

We were up early on day two to travel to Waikerie for the show and shine, stopping a Nippys we were met by some more members and then made our way to the riverfront where other members were already waiting for us on the oval. This is the first time the show had been held at the local footy oval as it was getting too big for its previous location. We had a wonderful time looking at all the other cars and the market and rock ‘n roll and line dancing clubs doing their thing. The club display looked brilliant and Brenton won second place for his car. The show finished around 2:30 and after we packed up we made our way back to Berri hotel for some R&R. Dinner was booked at the Mallee Fowl Restaurant and we were being picked up at five. Our driver was on time and even had a joke or two for us, was nice to be chauffeured there so everyone could relax have a drink if they wanted and not drive home. The restaurant was a bit of a strange old place, don’t think there was any space on the walls even had Emus walking around with the customers. The food was great and everyone had a good time there. After getting the bus back to the hotel we called it a night.

The next morning we were up and ready to get back to Adelaide. We travelled onto Waikerie and stopped at the bakery for breakfast / brunch where we had a lovely time chatting and taking in the wonderful view of the Murray. After filling our bellies we were back on the road again back to Adelaide. Hopefully everyone had a very good time away.
