Corvette club of South Australia Inc.

 

Saturday: When our new local friends turned up, we went to the RSL Hall, where they have on display the last Huey Helicopter to fly out of Vietnam. This is the best RSL display we have seen anywhere. They start off giving you a full run down on the museum & different aspects. Then you can wander at your leisure & ask any questions you have. For anyone heading up that way it is a must see. After the RSL. Terry took the lead & we toured out through Napperby, Nelshaby through the back blocks, stopping at “Harry’s” for lunch. After a cruise to Weeroona Island, driving along the Esplanade, boat ramp & stopping at the Fairy Tree, we continued to Port Germein for a look at the wooden jetty, then some had icecreams & some had a frothy at the local pub. After arriving back at the motel there was a challenge for the travellers. The idea was to find out who were the best female & male tossers amongst us. This was determined by throwing different size, weight & shaped horseshoes at a steel peg. Scoring was very sophisticated & the rules…pretty much anything went.

Female tossers                                                            Male tossers

Each placegetter was awarded a “Tossers of Pt Pirie” trophy depicting a horseshoe on a Redgum from the outback. Tea was at “The Church of Fish & Chips”, which was a renovated church with stained glass windows. We opted for a taxi each way, which made for a great night. Then we had the usual carpark night caps.
