170715Sa Wentworth (NSW) Junction Rally: 1950 MG YA; Dodge Ambulance. (Roderick Smith)
The Dodge is based in Victoria, and appears at many rallies. It is driveable, and used to drive to most; now it is trailered to most/all. I had a very pleasant chat with the owner, about its history, but didn't write any notes.

It's a great rally, and very friendly. I have been to four, but this was the first where I was exhibiting my boat. Lots of machinery people trail from long distances. Because it is so far from Melbourne, the trucks were not ones which I have seen elsewhere: mainly local, some from NSW towns. Here is just one of the paddleboat photos, at full size, to give the mood. It shows about half the fleet; the other half were parading (and I was aboard one). The pool from weir 10 (Wentworth) through weir 11 (Mildura) to Karadoc, added to the pool up Darling River, provides ~150 km of reliable water, and continuing to SA is available in most seasons of most years. Many private paddleboats are based in the region, and they love to rally. Most are diesel, often with tractor engines and transmissions. The steamers at this rally were PS Ruby (a grand preserved passenger boat); PS Melbourne (tourist, from Mildura); PS James Maiden (dual Echuca / Wentworth) and assorted launches.
