A great weekend was had in Beverley, both at the Beverly shed, and at the Avondale Discovery Farm festival.
The farm puts on a fantastic event, with a variety of displays, stall, farming demonstrations etc etc beautiful Clydesdale horses .....and what a magnificent venue it is ......link herewith:

We took two cars & caravans from the Beverley shed for the v v display, and Jill & Greg stayed overnight at the farm with their 64 Compact Fairlane and supurbly matched Franklin caravan, recently purchased from Tucky.
Ron & Elaine bought their immaculate original unmolested 59 Ford Tank, and took ownership of the B B B for the weekend.
We had an eastern states visitor for the weekend, Jim .....who was a great early contributor to our forum, (Jims instructions re photobucket still feature prominently on our forum
), but these days is an active member on our sister forum "classsic caravans".
Jim arrived at the shed on Saturday morning with his friend from Perth Pat, who owns a teardrop camper (of modern construction)
Jim did demonstrate his car washing skills on the "dusty as" FC ......he told me he's a very skilled car washerer, as he used to wash a fleet of taxis, so of course I wanted a demo
Leaving the Beverley shed
Jim drove the FX towing the lil bondy ......the FX was toooo powerful for him ;D, I only caught the tail end of the rig leaving the shed
Jill & Greg in the suburbly matched 64 Compact & 64 Franklin Fibreglass
Rod, Gary & Alan, who I attend the Bendigo swap each year with turned up with their immaculate Holdens
It was the first time the B B B had been on display, and WOW
.....did it attract some attention .....with a steady stream of people in AWE......in & out all day ......fortunately no one used the toilet ;D.
The beautifully finished Franklin also had a steady stream of visitors in and out the van.
Ron & Elaine were that impressed with the B B B they wanted take it home
......I followed them back to the Beverley shed ...when we got back to the main road, they headed for Perth instead of Beverley .....they WERE taking it home 
......there I was chasing them down the highway in the Mighty Morri tooting the horn, .....flashing the headlights....... and waving my arm outta the window in anger ;D
Also attending on Sunday was Brian & Sylvia with their original teardrop, and Brian's brother Maurice & wife with West Australia's only known Propert.
Unfortunately the Energiser Lithiums let me down, and I didn't get pics of their rigs on the day .....hopefully some other members will post some pics of their rigs.
