Mt. MORGAN MOTOR EXTRAVAGANZA -
Saturday 24th. September 2016
Capricorn members from Keppel Coast were
Ian Carleton, along with a friend, neighbour
and travelling companion, Glen Jones, Phil
Henry, Gurney & Gloria Clamp all arrived at
the Oaks on Yeppoon road. While preparing
to depart from the Oaks for the next leg of
the trip to Rockhampton’s Kershaw Gardens
to meet up with the Rockhampton members
we noticed a classic car owner in his bright
red Chev Belaire experiencing problems with
starting his car to the point where he ran the
battery flat.
Phil Henry came to the rescue with his set
of jumper leads and after pushing the car
away to a safe area from the fuel pumps they
managed to get the car started. After the usual
‘thank you’s he was on his way under a cloud
of smoke from burning tyres as it disappeared
towards Yeppoon.
Our arrival at Kershaw Gardens was a little
later than planned due to this incident and
so we found Butch Bambrick, Rosco James,
Neville & Barbara Funch, John & Margaret
Horton and Daryl & Joy Penridge all enjoying
the usual chatter before we headed off to the
Mt. Morgan Dam for morning tea. We travelled
via and up the enjoyable Mt. Morgan range
with most enjoying the thrill of a hill climb.
At morning tea we found that there were a
number of male members claiming to be Chefs
of high quality and were responsible for the
food preparation that was shared around for
all present.
After morning tea we all headed to the Mt.
Morgan Motor Extravaganza at the Mt.
Morgan show grounds, where we met up with
members from the All Classic Car club that
had arrived there earlier and set up their tent
and settled in.
There was a good display of cars there but I
am told that there were not the number of cars
that has been there in previous years.
