Actually got home friday night, 1 day short of 4 weeks away on the nationals trip. Epic. Awesome. Way cool. We clocked up 3579 miles (5760 km)!!!!!!! We saw lots of sights & had some once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Total sun blockout duststorm in Broken Hill; great bike museum in Peterborough; Penguins, Seals & Dolphins on Granite Island; Caving at Naracoorte, Tantanoola, Mt Gambier & Buchan; Whales with calves off Middleton; wildlife encounters & amazing scenery along the Great Ocean Road; etc,etc. Tasted & consumed some great wine & food, felt like a dead-set V.I.P. in our separate assembly areas at the start & finish of the B2B, but above all, enjoyed the company of a lot of wonderful and generous people. Like minded types, who love our little cars - its great to listen to all the stories of first contact & nostalgia. And then there are the people who just come up to me in the street and tell their Bellett story - "My Aunty had one of these - put it in the shed for 20 years, then gave it to her daughter - I'll tell her about the website....." (Adelaide) ; "Is that a Bellett? I had one in 1968, but it only had 2 doors - a G.T. or something - absolutely flew!......." (Cape Jaffa van park owner). Big Thank-you's to everyone, but particularly to Dave & Ross for the huge organisation effort & too cool super-awesome gifts, Shannons for the venue, Dave & Sarah for the hospitality & showing us ALL those brochures & books, Ross & B for the offers to stay, and Kerry & Anne-Marie for a great night on the way home. We had the bestest holiday! Matt, Tracy, Rhys & Milli. |

Anytime! Glad you got home safely. Good think you did it before the kids got too tall. I recommend if you want to do that trip again Isuzu-style, you need a Florian with its superior boot space and rear legroom! I was going to put a video up on Youtube of you trying to close the boot.... haven't got around to it yet though! Dave |

That's wicked dude, I don't have a pic of every car kind-of taken from the same angle! Looks good! Also, no pics up of the Florian yet. It needs a wash and I haven't had the time to get it out, pretty and photographed! |
