After doing a circuit to the applause of the crowd,<br />
we dropped off our VIPs and headed to the Strand<br />
for some refreshments and a very nice ending to<br />
what had been an excellent day.<br />
Saturday 23rd September -- Opening of<br />
Panorama Drive, Yeppoon<br />
The Capricorn Chapter of the MG Car Club joined<br />
other car and motorcycle clubs for the official<br />
opening of Panorama Drive on Saturday the 23rd of<br />
September. Members who attended the event were<br />
Ian Carleton, George Ganter, Phil Henry, Trevor<br />
Andersen, Ric and Michele Taylor, Mick and Shirley<br />
Condon, Jenny Hill, all from Yeppoon and the sole<br />
Rockhampton member, Ian Wilhelmsen. The event<br />
was well patronised with buses ferrying people<br />
from St Benedict’s primary school to the event site.<br />
With free sausage sizzle, coffee and ice cream<br />
and entertainment provided everyone thoroughly<br />
enjoyed the day.<br />
Eventually the official speeches were conducted<br />
and the ribbon cut and our members with their<br />
dignitaries onboard led the procession of vehicles to<br />
do a lap of the newly opened road. Trevor Andersen<br />
had the privilege of carrying the Member for Keppel,<br />
Brittany Lauga, the Livingstone Shire mayor Bill<br />
Ludwig took the wheel of Phil’s Midget, George had<br />
aboriginal elder Aunty Sally Vea Vea and Ian had<br />
the director of JRT, Jason Thomasson as his guest.<br />
