Happy Wheels - aka - 15th National Rally of the Packard Automobile Club of Australia

The Packard Automobile Club of Australia(PACA) 15th National Rally is currently underway on Phillip Island. Each National Rally is tagged with a name, this one being "Happy Wheels". Phillip Islands Penguin population together with some licence from the Aussie Penguin movie "Happy Feet" created the name.

Would have posted sooner but connectivity problems with the Internet prevented that happening until now.

The links below, to Picasa albums, cover a small PACA group coming from Sydney about 1,000 kms north. And the first day of the Rally which encompassed a visit to a wildlife park.

Todays main activity will be The Concours.

Day 1 of trip - About 630 kms

Day 2 of trip - About 370 kms with a visit to see Bernie J's '23 by some of our group. Some of you may have followed Bernie's Restoration Blog(now deleted) on the AACA Site.

Day 1 on the Island

Other Aussies at the Rally who may wish to add to this thread, please do so! And overseas visitors(DAF?) too, of course!

Great pictures Mal thanks for sharing. Wish we had some of that Aussie sunshine over here in the UK. Brass Monkeys at the moment -3 degrees with an easterly wind to boot.
Take care
Terry

Brass Monkeys? As in cold enough to freeze the balls off of a brass monkey? As you probably know, it's not what it seems.
