Re: Aussie Rally - 17th National Packard Rally

Another description lifted from Post #5: "Concours at Victor Harbor. Because of approaching inclement weather the timing of the Concours was brought forward to an earlier start. Just as well, with judging able to be completed before the severe storm front moved in. Another ceremonial letter handover was also accomplished with the Mayor of Victor Harbor. About 11:00am the Concours wound up with the McCracken Country Club able to provide emergency undercover parking for all the soft tops on tour. The storm was rated as the worst in 50 years with the entire state of South Australia blacked out after a Power Station was hit by lightning and at least 6 23 transmission towers damaged. The ensuing blackout for us at McCracken lasted from Late afternoon to 1:30am the next morning, when my room lights came on! The McCracken Country Club swung into emergency mode providing a great barbecue dinner for the Rally under the adverse circumstances."
