Re: Packard Kangaroo Island Safari 2010

Today was a Packard free day with 2 coaches transporting 90 PACA members on a tour of the south and west of Kangaroo Island. From Kingscote, first stop was Flinders Chase followed by Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch and a farm at Parndana before returning to Kingscote, a 350km round trip. The trip was interspersed with stops for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. You'll never go hungry on a PACA Rally!
Couple of car related notes. Young Mat, Packard34, sprang a leak in the rubber hose between the fuel filler pipe and the fuel tank. Yesterday Peter Packard had a rear door come open on the highway which whipped around and damaged the rear mudguard(fender) as well. And the '48 which travelled 2,000kms from Western Australia has OD and oil consumption problems. And speaking of Mat's '34, Brian Wade's New Zealand mate, is driving it back to Sydney in convoy with Wade. Once there Wade is going to look at Mat's generator problem. Thinks he has another generator and from the two may be able to build one good one. We'll see.
Tomorrow it's a Packard transportation day, getting from Kingscote to Penneshaw, then by ferry to Cape Jervis, and then onto Victor Harbour. At Victor Harbour PACA is having it's farewell dinner and presentation night at the McCracken Country Club.
Today's pic's are in this album, hope they all work!
