was a great night with good company.
The Casserole lunch and afternoon at Colin & Trish Stewart’s was excellent.
The Sunday run with the Young Club to Margaret & Allan Schutz’s Miniature Trains at Young was an
excellent day, sitting in the sun surrounded by those beautiful trains, was something special.
Coming up is Ganmain Show, the Wattle Time Parade and at the end of September - the French Night
at Stockinbingal Bowling Club. Let Betsy know if you are going to the French Night and don’t forget
that ...........................

Sixty years married:
The diamond Jubilee Anniversary of Ted and Joan Strachan’s wedding 16 July, 1955 went off with
great celebrations in July 2015.
5 & 6 SEPTEMBER -- Col Harmer of Young Heritage Motor Club is running a Rally for Model A FORDS. The FORDS
will visit COOTAMUNDRA SWAP MEET on Sunday 6 Sept. for Morning Tea - so there will be a Parking Spot reserved
for the FORDS.
The photo is the 1928 FORD Tudor of Barry Rose. Barry Rose and the above-mentioned Col Harmer in the 1960s were
members of Cootamundra branch of the Antique & Classic Motor Club.
The Model A Fords leave YOUNG 8.30 a.m. to drive to Cootamundra, check out The Airport and
arrive at the SWAP MEET about 10 a.m. for Morning Tea.
Then they motor on to Harden by the back roads to have Lunch at Harden Golf Club.

In 1925 a Pianola cost 300 pounds. At the same time . . . Bartley & Perry – Motor, Electrical,
Mechanical and Cycle Engineers – had the FORD Agency in Cootamundra. They advertised
Ford roadsters @ 190 pounds and Ford tourers @ 210 pounds.
This means that pianolas were expensive. Fords were cheap.
I was told by a Cootamundra old-timer (Hope Ward) the following facts that I find hard to believe:
In the early 1920s FORD chassis with all mechanical parts fastened were delivered by train to
Cootamundra railway freight yard for the Ford Dealer. From here the chassis was towed by a horse to
The Army Drill Hall which was hired by the Ford Dealer. Coach builders here fashioned a body onto
the chassis as per customers’ orders. The cheapest body was a simple wood tray on a truck chassis. All
the driver got was a box fastened on the tray – to sit on and drive - same as a dray or wagon.
Extra payments got proper bodies with windscreen, seats, doors, roof, etc. That’s how you got a cheap
truck.
For HOLDENS
There will be a big display of Holdens on Canberra’s West Lawns King Edward Terrace Sunday 20 September.
For GT FALCONS
There will be a big cruise from Dickson College to Crookwell Sunday 25 October. The event is called “The
Crookwell Charity Cruise”. Information : [email protected]
Springtime -- John and Joan Collins are participating in the Wangaratta Annual Spring Rally - 25, 26 & 27 September 2015.
This rally has been run by the Veteran, Vintage & Classic Vehicle Club of Wangaratta Inc. for the past 44 years. About time we tried it.
The weekend of 7 & 8 November is the COOMA MOTORFEST -- arranged by Cooma Heritage Automobile Club.
Thursday 5 November – 60 Veteran cars will be displayed at the park in Goulburn. Well worth a look.
These announcements are made anticipating you might like to join with us for these weekends away trips -to Wangaratta, Goulburn and Cooma. Entry forms available from John Collins.
THE BAY TO BIRDWOOD this year is for vehicles – 1956 to 1977.
Adelaide hosts THE BAY TO BIRDWOOD each year in the last weekend in September.
THE BAY TO BIRDWOOD grew to become Australia’s Biggest Parade of Heritage Vehicles.
Many clubs throughout Australia organise holiday tours to Adelaide for THE BAY TO BIRDWOOD.
This year - Participants of Wagga Wagga Classic Motoring Club depart Sunday 20 September, overnighting at Echuca, then meander
visiting places like “the Spanner Man’s Exhibits” on the way to Adelaide.
They return to Wagga via Victor Harbour, Goolwa and The Great Ocean Road, etc.
There is a 4 cylinder Chevrolet Rally at Wagga Wagga 27 September to 2 October.
There is a Model T Ford Rally at Condobolin 2 – 5 October.
Two dozen DAIMLER SP 250s are rallying at Gundagai during the last weekend in October. They will be on display and checking in to
their rally - opposite the GUNDAGAI RSL Saturday 31 October. Worth a look.
For Pre-1948 MOTORCYCLES : The Vintage Motor Cycle Club of Australia (NSW) is holding their 60 th (60th!)
Anniversary Rally -- 30 October 2015 at COWRA.
The VVMCA held its first rally in 1955 at Parramatta Park.
This year it’s their diamond jubilee! John Simpfendorfer has Entry Forms.
The Vintage Sports Car Club of Australia (VSCCA) is one of the oldest car clubs in Australia and has celebrated its 70 th
birthday. This means the VSCCA was started during the 2nd World War?
For the last five years the VSSCA has been hiring Cootamundra Airport for Sprint Events.
Cootamundra Airport becomes a Vintage car enthusiasts’ paradise on Saturday.
Pre–1961 vehicles are invited to test their acceleration down a quarter mile strip marked out on the runway.
Frank Matich, a motorsport legend, passed away aged 80, in May.
One of his legendary race-cars – the MATICH SR3 – resides in our district.
Member, Keith Berryman, preserves and sometimes demonstrates - this open wheeler (constructed by Frank) in
which Frank won the Australian Tourist Trophy.

VETERAN car rally
This year the annual Shannons National ALL VETERAN TOUR will be at GOULBURN 1-6 November.
During the tour 60 Veteran cars visit Collector, Taralga, Crookwell, Bungonia, Windellama, Gunning and Tarago.
The distance travelled each day will be between 80 and 120 kms over undulating country roads very well suited
to Veteran vehicles.
Thursday afternoon, 5 November, after visiting Goulburn Waterworks, the Railway Heritage Centre and
“Riversdale” Homestead, the Veteran Cars will be on display at Belmore Park, Goulburn. Worth a look!
Yours in antique motoring,

PAST EVENTS
A June Jaunt
Participants in a June Jaunt of the Wagga Wagga Classic Motoring Club visited the Tarcutta Truckies’ Memorial.
It was pointed out to them that Gundagai is geared up to establish THE AUSTRALIAN ROAD TRANSPORT
HERITAGE CENTRE (A.R.T.H.C.) at Gundagai.
It will be a national museum dedicated to the preservation, upkeep and display of vehicles and equipment that
played a role in the development of Australian roads.
Already in storage for the museum is a DIAMOND T from Judds of Wagga, a fire-truck and a STUDEBAKER
from Wollongong Electricity.
Gundagai Antique Motor Club hosted a rally for those who wanted a nostalgic drive through the abandoned
section of the Hume Highway known as Sylvias Gap.
The Entry Fee created a good profit to go towards the Museum which is proposed to be built at South Gundagai.
To continue raising funds - another Truck Rally is planned for next year. Some of our members attended this
event.

Saturday 15 August -- Chauffeuring The Debs

Saturday 15 August --- Off to The Hay Plains
When I announced that I was going to a VW Club event to
visit the Altina Wildlife Park – this venue interested some
C.A.M.C. members who signed up for the event.
The best way to visit this Zoo is an overnight stay at
Narrandera.
Saturday : So we arrived Saturday and spent a pleasant
afternoon exploring the wetlands of Narrandera . . .
… . .where we managed to spot one Koala
near Lake Talbot.
THE SPOTTERS: Peter, John, Sue, Ting, and - Amy, visiting from China.
Sunday : Leaving our Narrandera motel early in the
morning our convoy of cars drove out to the Hay Plains
where this Zoo is situated alongside the Murrumbidgee
River. At The Zoo you see lots of cute and lots of scary
animals. I hope the River doesn’t flood and knock down
the fences . . . . . .
Sunday afternoon we drove home. At a pleasant
Afternoon Tea at Coolamon we agreed that the Altina
Wildlife Park is deserving of more patronage.

Sunday 16th August -- Miniature Trains at Young
Eleven Coota members travelled to Young to visit the Tierney’s Ridge Railway.
This is just before Young – turn Right into Tierney Street (not Tierney Lane which is first).
Kevin White of Young was waiting to direct us in. We got out of the car and walked into a
fantastic rail journey.
Margaret and Allan Schutz are the owners and have done a marvellous job with these trains.
They have developed a great complex of Tracks - with lots of different Engines & Carriages &
Cargo Trains pulling a variety of Cars – Construction Equipment – Animals and more. The
railway lines wind through their garden. There is a Lake – Bridges and even Sheep & Cattle
grazing in the paddocks – Horses and Kangaroos munching on the grass as well.
Photos by John Simp. which show only a
fraction of what we saw.
Jimmy and Jackie Berrell were there.
[Jimmy is having a rest from restoring a
Simca Vedette. He’s already restored a
couple of Vintage T Fords and a Buick.]
Also an inside display of more tracks wandering through all sorts of country and tunnels with
some tracks going up high above the mountains and lower through different country. There
was a caravan park by the tracks – a circus with elephants and dancing girls – just to mention
a few.
Upstairs Allan has a Man Cave with memorabilia and heaps of models of all sorts of things.
I am sure most of the men would like an area like this.
Page 10
Allan told me that he collects the models and Margaret designs and makes the displays. Allan
controls the busy rolling stock. Their son has done the electrical work – a very well done
family project.
Enjoying the day at Young from our club - were –

Tuesday 18 August ---- A Past Event: (which was in the Coming Events.)
The Event : An extraordinary Unveiling at The Cootamundra Museum
Only two cars from our club went to this event:
1. Our president and Secretary in a Wolseley
And 2. Ace Reporter with his secretary(slave) - in a Volkswagen beetle.
This event was a gathering of people in front of the Museum on a Tuesday. A new exhibit was unveiled.
The audience clapped. . . . Thanks were given to the donors.
Thanks were given to the exhibit’s restorer (– a past member of our club, Robert Newman) . .
. and . . . Morning Tea was enjoyed.
The exhibit now stands in front of The Heritage Centre. Go have a look.
Unveiled was the statue, called “The Giant” which in the 1970s was a landmark standing
above the entrance of Cootamundra’s biggest grocery shop.
The grocery shop was siuated opposite the Post Office, pictured here:
