At our last General Meeting the

subject of entry tickets for the com-

ing Shannons Eastern Creek Clas-

sic and All British Display Day was

discussed. Entry tickets for these

two events are ordered and paid

for many months in advance.

The discussion centred on Club

members cars that are Condition-ally Registered with our Club as

their primary Club; or another

Club as their primary Club and

our Club as a secondary club.

Since we had to order and pay for

these tickets without knowing how

Presidents Report many would eventually be needed,

the Committee decided that mem-

bers who had their car Condition-

ally Registered with our Club as

their primary Club would received

allocation preference. All available entry tickets were allocated to

such members and none were

available for other members who

could probably obtain one from

their primary Club.

As these display days become more

popular I can see a time will come

when rationing of entry tickets will

become necessary.

Happy Sevening …Warren Gracie

we all know it’s a great little car … but Brian, you’ve got to be joking!

Twelve people attended our Austinmer Breakfast Run and it was ex-

tremely cold on the beach. The Don Avery Memorial Shield Run was a

great success with a beautiful run along the Hawkesbury River. We even-

tually arrived at the Wisemans Ferry Bowling Club for a big lunch. In

attendance were Warren Gracie, Ken Rolley, Eric Steinhaus, Helen Lewis,

Carolyn Thompson, Joanne & Mark Wellington, Faye & Robert Yarroll, Amy & Paul Pui and Maureen & Mervyn Boatwright.

Our next Club run is breakfast at Brooklyn. If you are interested in at-tending please contact me ASAP so I can make a booking. If you are at-

tending Shannons Eastern Creek Classic and require your orange Entry Ticket stamped then please bring it to the August General Meeting.

Anyone interested in going to the Grafton Jacaranda Rally on 1-4 Novem-

ber 2012 (as listed in Correspondence In – July Meeting) please contact Maureen. Cliff Stockley has kindly offered to book your accommodation

you want (maximum four people, two spare rooms). See you at Brooklyn.

arrive. Wow … there was mouth-

watering Calamari, scrumptious

lamb shanks, a selection of fish

and even enormous seafood plat-

ters, and that’s not to mention

the Club burgers with chips. We’re quite used to a Big Break-

fast but today it was definitely a

Big Lunch instead. Some of our

hungry members couldn’t even

finish their meal.

So after our feed it was time to

sit back and relax and enjoy the

social company of other mem-

bers until it was time for our

Event Directors Q&A Challenge.

Please make the questions a little

simpler next time Mr President.

After lunch everyone set off on

their homeward journey. A big

thank you to President Warren

Gracie for organising such a

wonderful days outing.

P.S. It was like Russian Roulette

when we visited Hawkins Look-

out on our way home. Although

the view was gorgeous the car-

park was crowded as about

twenty cars tried to fit in a space designed for about ten. At least

we survived reversing out onto

the main road. That’s not some-

thing normally recommended.

end Charlie today and must have

got every red light on their jour-

ney. As all the Austins were ap-

proaching the Windsor area the

Run Sheet definitely told every-

one to turn left into Wilberforce

Road, but in true Austin 7 style

most of the cars turned right. Oh

no …. where are we all heading

now? And this is where much of the fun and adventure started.

Several drivers soon realised

their mistake and looked for

somewhere to turn around to get

back to Wilberforce Road. Most

cars did eventually head for the

Sackville Ferry to cross the pic-

turesque Hawkesbury River.

However, some had to get to

lunch any way they could.

After crossing the river we em-

barked on the Wisemans Ferry

meander and travelled along the

winding and narrow River Road

and took in the breath taking

views of the river and the many

beautiful properties along its shores.

Eventually everyone arrived at

the Wisemans Ferry Bowling

Club for lunch. Well, by this time

we had all worked up a thirst

and appetite; so after a refresh-

ing drink our meals started to

1 July 2012. Nine Club members met at Heathcote Railway Station car-

park this morning for a leisurely drive down to beautiful Austinmer

Beach. And weren’t we treated to just about the sunniest day this win-

ter. The skies were crystal clear and so too was the Tasman Sea. When

we reached the beach some adventurous locals were already having a

dip in the ocean pool while others were riding the waves on their surf-

boards. Our group parked their cars in formation at the beach car-park

and wasted no time in crossing the road and heading straight for the

AustiBeach Café. Our coffee orders were taken first while we considered

our breakfast options. Some younger male members seemed to spend more effort studying the waitresses than the Menu; but eventually we all

placed our breakfast orders. Everyone was happy when their food ar-

rived. As usual the Big Breakfasts were HUGE and all the other delica-

cies were scrumptious too. Our display of Austin’s in the car-park was

an instant success and many people took the chance to take a close look

at them. After breakfast we strolled over to the beach again and contin-

ued chatting until it was time to depart. But depart we didn’t! One of our

Austin 7’s refused to proceed and it took the combined brain power of

everyone present to finally get it going after about an hour of total confu-

sion. I won’t nominate the embarrassed Club member who experienced

the problem but Warren Gracie has asked me to especially thank Ken

Rolley and Mark Wellington for all their valuable help. We had yet anoth-

er wonderful fun filled day mixed with just enough drama to make

things interesting. Our homeward journey proved to be as pleasant as

our morning jaunt and everyone arrive home safely. … the Editor

It’s great to feature an interstate member’s car this month.

Graeme and Bev Logan purchased their 1935 Austin Seven Ruby Sedan in

1967 for a handsome price of $100. This little car was used as their second car and Bev could often be seen driving the children around, packing the

car with groceries and doing regular trips to the local kindergarten. The

little car certainly came in very handy and got plenty of regular use.

Graeme and Bev also used their little Ruby on Border Runs and other Club

events with the Melbourne Austin Seven Club.

In 1973 the Austin was put into storage near the beach at Dromana as

Graeme and Bev moved to Deniliquin for a couple of years. Then in 1976

they purchased a new family home in Merricks North and the little Austin

was taken out of storage, dusted off and yet again Bev drove it to work

each day. However, it was getting very tired and things were a bit loose

and full of rust, so eventually Graeme and Bev decided it was time to buy a

modern car that was more suitable for carrying their teenage children.

The little Ruby was eventually taken off the road for restoration in 1985

and they then purchased a 1937 Austin Seven Tourer.

It took about ten years to complete the Ruby’s restoration and it was put

back on the road just in time for the 2007 Austin Seven National Rally in

Mudgee. Since then the little Austin has travelled about thirteen thousand

miles including a few times to the South Australia Border. Some of their

travelling was not incident free and Graeme remembers braking two

crankshafts in the Ruby.

We hope Graeme and Bev have a safe and happy trip to the 2012 Austin

Seven Rally at Tanunda and we look forward to catching up with them

soon. Happy touring.

Actually I only saw par-tridge quail, and pea-fowl, but I confess that I spent a good deal of my time won-dering whether the tigers ever came out in the day-time to feast off lonely maidens driving “baby” cars!

And the heat! I cast off stockings and other items until I was wearing little more than a sleeveless shirt-blouse and a shan-tung shirt and still I re-mained limp and exhaust-ed.

From Kundra I drove through Muthani and over the Karamasa River to Moghal Serai, where the River Ganges is crossed by a bridge of boats. Sev-en miles farther on I reached the holy city of Benares.

One thing that struck me as I went along, all the way from Calcutta to Bom-bay, was the constantly changing types of people one met on the road. Here I would encounter short

men clad only in lion-cloths, with long black hair hanging round their shoul-ders; a little farther on were others who looked like Arab sheiks, dressed in beautiful robes of red, orange, and violet. It seemed to me that chang-es like this took place eve-ry few miles, the inhabit-ants altering not only in countenance and dress but also in demeanour.

My night at Allahabad stands out in strong con-trast to the awful hours spent in the dak bunga-lows at Baraker and Ku-dra. This was civilisation, and I was able to discard my faithful old Burberry for the joys of a real bed and bed-clothes.

Muratgang, Khaga, Fate-pur, Azafpur, and Cawn-pore followed in quick succession, and as I sped along I was fascinated by the antics of the monkeys in the trees. Some of them came quite close, grimac-ing and chattering as if asking me what I was doing in their domain, and as I watched them it struck me what a jolly pet a tame monkey would make. I determined, if possible, to take hold of one.

Luck favoured me, for at the next dak bungalow, I was able to buy one for five rupees – a dear little baby who soon became a keen motorist and great friends with his mistress. He was most intelligent and tame and when, every now and then, I stopped and gave him a run, he would climb a few trees, but always with a wary eye on the car, to which he would return directly he saw I was ready to start again. He proved an asset in another way, too, for he served as an introduction to the native villages I entered. The natives like monkeys, and the fact that I was kind to this one im-mediately put me in their good graces.

At Delhi I visited the ro-mantic Palace of Rajahs, being particularly charmed by the tiny stream of rose-water which runs through the palace-rooms and ends in a pond of lotus flowers. Could anything express more beautifully the spirit of the romantic East?

In order to take advantage of the cooler hours, I left Delhi at four a.m., and while it was still dark I saw in front of me what looked

… the end …

like two bicycle lamps on the road. They proved to be the eyes of a jackal, which bounded away at my approach.

“Anyway,” I said to myself, “thank goodness it wasn’t a tiger.”

I reached Agra about sev-en in the evening, and the monkey and I were resting after dinner when a charming Austin owner at my hotel offered to take me to view the Taj Mahal by moonlight. It proved to be the sight of a lifetime, and I cannot express the beauty of the wonderful building seen under these conditions – the shadowy cypress trees, the exquis-ite red poppies, made of precious stones, that em-bellish the tombs, the carved marble lilies, all bathed in the wonderful radiance of an Indian moon.

From Agra to Mhow the run was uneventful, the chief event being when I ran out of food, and mas-ter Monkey and I dined off a tin of pineapple, which he simply adored. He was a most polite little beast, and ate his meals with the utmost decorum.

I was now on my last three hundred miles be-fore reaching Bombay, but had one more thrill before entering that city. Just as evening was coming on I

ran out of petrol near a village whose inhabitants seemed extraordinarily stupid, for I could not make them understand what I wanted.

The upshot was that the monkey and I had to sleep in the car that night, an eerie proceeding when the slow-passing hours are punctuated by the howling of jackals, and one does not know what else – or who else! – may be prowl-ing around. However, day-light came without unto-ward incident, and I man-aged to obtain some pet-rol from a lorry-driver and resume my way.

Near Nampur there are two steep ghats, with hair-pins bends, where ox-carts toiling up and down the hill made progress very slow. It was four in the morning when I finally reached Bombay, with just enough energy to put the monkey to bed, tumble into a bath, and then go to bed myself.

My impression of Indian roads is that they are won-derful, in spite of the fact that I was dogged by puncture – eight of them! – all the way across. The heat and the mosquitoes, however, as well as the inferior accommodation at the dak bungalows, are drawbacks, which take the edge off the enjoyment of even the most enthusiastic

motorist. Still, I suppose one can never get roses without the thorns!

From Bombay I went by sea to Venice. To my real grief I had to part with my little monkey before I left, for I was informed that European conditions would be fatal to him. However, I left the dear little beastie in good hands. I wonder if he still remembers his travels in the car?

Venice saw me on the road again with only one thought in my mind – to get home as soon as pos-sible. I travelled via Milan, Genoa, Bordhighera, St. Raphael, Avignon, Beau-vais, to Calais, and at Dover was officially wel-comed home by the Mayor being afterwards escorted to Folkestone by a bevy of “Austin Sevens,” recalling my New Zealand and Australian experienc-es.

Another Mayoral reception followed at Maidstone, and the final scene of my seven months’ tour took place in London, where I was entertained to lunch-eon at the Connaught Rooms. Sir Herbert Austin presided and Lord Riddell was present and proposed one of the toasts.
