[SEL] Canberra Rally

[Patrick Livingstone]

Home again from another great weekend with the engines. This was the first
rally at the Canberra Club's new grounds at Tuggeranong Homestead in the
ACT. It is a great location with good facilities and home to a 1905 1.5hp
Hornsby-Akroyd that had been on the farm since new!
The weather was pretty hot (so I am burnt again) but everyone seemed to have
a great time. As always the rally was well organised with a dinner on
Saturday night and good facilities for those who wished to camp on the
grounds. I could not be bothered to set up my tent for one night so I joined
a number of people who camped in one of the old wool sheds. It was warm and
dry and would have been excellent except for Brock's snoring...
This was the first appearance of my 12hp R&V for five years and it ran ok
except for random stopping due to fuel pump problems. It serves me right for
neglecting it.
I am already looking forward to the next rally at this site.
