Wednesday mid-week run to Ipswich Railway Workshop | ||
We had an array of cars on Wednesday 26th June. 7 old with 3 modern cars headed off early on a clear winters morning from the clubhouse. It was quite an uninteresting journey north up the M1. The more scenic route, unfortunately was too time consuming for this run. We exited at Beenleigh & met another 8 club members. We enjoyed the sunshine at Albert River Park. The whole 21 of us finished our cuppas & continued on our merry way. A caravan held us up briefly, but the M1 & Logan motorway was quite well behaved. Our welcome to Ipswich was defined by beautiful old homes, the Queenslanders with their wrought iron fret work, corrugated roofs, lovely wide verandahs with typical front stairs. Once at Queensland museum rail workshops at Ipswich we met Heinz & 2 of his Rover car club friends. Our quietly spoken guide Ken talked to us about the numerous red brick buildings before us. the fighter jets from RAAF base Amberley were competing with Ken. Originally this site was a rifle range, then in 1885 these Queensland rail buildings were workshops for a huge number of occupations including blacksmiths, boiler makers, coppersmiths, coach & carriage builders, carpenters, just to name a few. A short drive at 12.30 took us to the Mi Hi Tavern for a welcomed lunch. We all enjoyed each others company over the course before heading back to the Gold Coast. |

Crams Farm Club Run 3rd March Crams Farm Reserve is much more than a 14 hectare park located in Northern NSW. It is where Tweed Valley Vehicle Restorers Club, Northern Rivers Vintage & Veterans Car Club and Gold Coast Antique Classic Auto Club get together for this annual event and have done so for more than 10 years.
We swap yarns, discuss the latest car gossip, catch up with our other car club friends, listen to some talented musicians,
drool over the curves (of cars), have a feed and this year it was our pleasure to entertain our comrades with some games
The “guess the amount of mentos in the container” was won by Garry Rafton from GCACAC. Well done.
“how many bolts can you move from one container to another" (using chopsticks?)
Well a lot of cheering, cursing and clapping encompassed this game with TVVRC coming out the definitive winners!
Who knew chopsticks swivelled, corkscrewed and spun out of your fingers so easily?
Not Tweed Valley members, congrats!!
Looking forward to meeting up again next year.
Lynne Rafton
