Unless someone puts there hand up to be the point of contact for something in Sydney there doesn't look like much is happening there as some of the Sydney people are heading south to Kiama to join the South Coast group. read about developments as they progress here.

Woody has started discussion for a Newcastle area with a few takers already. Follow the progress here.

The Melbourne International Moke Day effort ids going to take on the form of a day drive out around the north west of Melbourne taking some back roads up towards Creswick and then back home again.

Meeting point for the day is the Service Centre at Bunker Hill on the Hume Highway northbound under the Donnybrook Road overpass. Access is only available from the south side so you may need to do a U-turn down near Craigieburn if you are coming from the North or DonnyBrook Rd. Wollert-Craigieburn Road is closed so that is not an option either.

Once again we'll be having an IMD cruise from Hobart, on Sunday the 30th of September. We will probably follow last year's format of having a cruise through the countryside to somewhere we can have lunch and take the official snapshot, a bit of Moke related nattering, then a cruise home again. We probably won't cover a big distance unless there's a lot of interest from the North about a state-wide meet-up, but anyone is welcome to come along and join in.

We'll have a bit more detail closer to the date (like a meeting place and time and a destination) but if you want to contact me This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or give me a call on 0429 642086

Not quite sure what the Sri Lankas are doing this year as they are going on a their IMD trip a week early on the 23rd!!!. Although any excuse to go for a drive in a Moke is a good one, we will have to wait and see if they manage to change the date and join the rest of us on the 30th of September.

The Mighty Minis Club normally come through with some good photos and few video clips of their drive so keep an eye on their website anytime from the 23rd of September onwards.
