Rest day in Warrnambool.
A beautiful warm, cloudless rest day in Warrnambool (from the Aboriginal warr, ‘water’, and nimbul, ‘between two rivers’) for local sightseeing.
Minor fettling, tightening of connections and topping up of fluids continued throughout the day in the hotel parking lot. The oil leak in the Blacket 1925 12/50 Beetleback was traced to a crack in the line to the oil gauge. A quick visit to the local plumber provided the copper line and connection to effect the required repair.
The evening’s entertainment was a barbeque dinner followed by a Sound and Laser Light Show, depicting the voyage and destruction of a large immigrant carrying clipper on the shipwreck coast.
On the subject of dinner, our Australian hosts and tour organisers, the Alvis Car Club of Victoria, have done themselves and us proud starting with the wonderful official welcoming banquet on Tuesday, October 7 at the R.A.C.V. in Melbourne, and continuing through each evening allowing all the participants the opportunity of sitting with new dinner companions and getting to know each other.
