Yeah righto Geoff, What parts have been restored......... and what's the "right price"...... anyway you're all talk, we know it's your "retirement project" and you wouldn't let me have it at twice the "right price". But thanks for the offer, keep your eye out for a 1936 Humber, I see one at various car shows from time to time but I have to wait until the owner dies....... and he's younger than me Cobber.

Thanks Reddo ya a good mate Thanks Reddo ya a good mate The Humber I have in mind is this one (you might remember it at that Moorebank car show last year Geoff, when Judy gave me a birthday cake ) Judging by the price of the disy it might cost a quid or two for the whole car eh? Next time we are at a show together I will ask the bloke if he will park it in front of Ol '36 for a photo shoot Cobber.

G'Day Cobber,
Our 1949 Rover P3 has an uncanny sililarity in styling to the Humber photo you posted though obviously earlier with its wire wheels and probably pre war.

Hi Kaybees thanks for posting this.. I recognise the seller k52c52... prompts me to issue this..... PUBLIC NOTICE: I have had dealings with this ebay shonkster before.. I got stung on a deal with a sunbeam mixmaster. I won the item fair and square. sent em the money and that was the last i heard of em. I complained to ebay and ebay expelled them. They look like they have been allowed back His wife is just as ruthless as he is. be warey.. very warey. So.. what has happened to the 2010 nats thread.. Mildura sounds good Here is a few parks to check out. www.crossroadsholidaypark.com.au/www.mildura-deakin.com.au/allseasonshouseboats.com.au/www.rgtp.com.au/mildura-golden-river-holiday-resort.vic.big4.com.au/public/I even found the siesta caravan park has a train track up against the fence. Ideal for those that have a track running through thier front yard and are feeling a little homesick while they are on holidays ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Heres a website for whats doin' in Mildura www.visitmildura.com.au/Reddo

G'Day Reddo,
A park recommended to me at Mildura is actually over the river at Buronga. I haven't stayed there but received good reports from a couple who have returned there many times.

Mildura sounds good. As an Adelaidian (with some spare time at the moment) I am happy to go on a reccy and check out caravan parks and have a chat to managers if that were useful. I'd camp overnight, take photos, check out wineries......... I haven't been there for years. Anyway I'm happy to help out by doing the above or anything else. Cheers M

Onya marshy
Thats the sort of enthusiasm i was talking about. It wouldn't be a bad mission either. Seeing great parts of Oz while on a fact finding mission. Staying overnight and Actually sticking your head in the gate at different van parks and taking a few notes/photos on the good and bad points.
Unfortunately it will be hard to give the managers exact numbers but at least see what can be done for us in the way of a group discount.
Regards Reddo

Well put Reddo, You just said what I was about to. Thanks Marshy, we look forward to the report when it happens! I reckon we could safely estimate 60+ vans? Thoughts, estimates anyone? Cheers, gristy

Yes, camping by trainline not good. Reminds me of West Beach Cvan Park in Adelaide, right under the airport flight path and on the beach in the 'windy city' - beautiful place but between the wind and the planes But, I have an old remedy..............6 or 7 'sherbets' before retiring of an evening, you won't hear a train. Until the 5am goods train, then that rumbles through the dull ache in your head..............hang on that remedy doesn't work that well for trains Who cares, I will be there Mildura or Barossa or Cheers, gristy

Mildura or Barossa??? Here is the web site for the larger of the two parks in the Barossa. www.barossatouristpark.com.au There is a free call number 1800251634 if you require any further info. We live 7km from this park and will be happy to "Step up" and assist with the 2010 Nationals. Liaising with state representatives sounds like a good idea, so that nothing is left to chance. You can give us ideas of what attractions you all would like to see, ie: Birdwood National Motor Museum, Wineries, wineries, wineries and we will do the leg work and the "taste testing" hic.. hic.! I'm sure that between now and 2010, I should be able to amass (beg, borrow and coerce) a collection of wines for a function held during the Nationals. Give the Barossa some thought and let us know. Ann & Stephen

Reddo, Thanks for putting all the Mildura Parks on the forum. Mildura sounds great, I am a BIG 4 tragic, having lived in one for the past 15 months.......but as you've shown there are many more nice ones as well. I love trains and planes and could think of nothing better than hearing a 60 carriage freight train shunting past the park at 3am ;D But the bottom line is we've got to have trees, shade and facilities nearby and be together "as a group" of course. I cant wait to head south down the Stuart again, but this time I will take more time to enjoy the sights as I "Meander to Mildura" 2010. Sounds good........cheers, Hillbilly ;D

Hi all, Just to throw another place into the mix.....a lady we just met in the Eden Caravan Park spoke highly of the Tanunda Caravan Park......she was there over the Australia Day weekend and there was a hotrod meet there....she says that that particular park is very accommodating when it comes to groups and there is a big grassed area that they reserve for group bookings....
This is all hearsay from a third party, so perhaps marshy74 can include Tanunda in his reccy
Just a thought

Hi all we have stayed in the Tanunda caravan park during the Cruise on Tanunda weekend and it is excellent. They are very accomodating when it comes to groups etc.Tanunda and regions is certainly a lovely area with wineries and one of the largest private Chev. collections I have seen. Certainly worth consideration. regards Larry W
