The Packard
Kangaroo Island Safari 2010 is the title and theme of the Packard Club of Australia's 2010 National Rally. With many Packards currently heading towards South Australia, specifically Glenelg which is just south of Adelaide the state capital. Rally book-in and registration is late Saturday afternoon at the
Haven Marina at Glenelg where the rally participants are staying.
Our convoy group leaves this morning, taking 3 days for the almost 1,400km trip. The group consists of Wendy and Dick in their '37 115c Sport Coupe "Emily" and '39 110 Convertible Coupe "Roy" along with their Canadian friends Don and Betty, Jeff, PAC052, and Margaret in their '52 200 Deluxe Sedan, Michael, the PACA President in his '54 Convertible and myself and Kath in our '41 120 Club Coupe. We are rendezvousing at Pheasants Nest about 100 km south-west of Sydney at 9:00am. From there we'll travel 200 kms to Yass where re-fueling and lunch is on the menu. The next leg is 175kms to Gumly Gumly for our first overnight stop. Another group which set out yesterday consists of DavidM and Veronique in their freshly restored '29 633 7 passenger Sedan, Mat, Packard34, in his '34 1100 Sedan, with newly rebuilt engine, Peter and Annette in their '38 Eight Touring Sedan and Barry and Pam in their '35 5 passenger Sedan.
Depending on internet connectivity at our overnight stops I'll endeavour to post updates and pic's on a day to day basis.
