It might be a bit far for a lot of you but if you're in the area time is ticking down to get you model ready.

I should add that we're in Geelong, Victoria, Australia and that the event is being held at the Geelong Show grounds as part of the Geelong Classic Truck and Machinery Show.

The Great Milk Carton challenge has been run and done. Weather was a bit damp on the Saturday which kept visitor numbers down a bit but Sunday made up for it.
We had entries made by models aged from 3 to 67. They all did a great job. So much so it will be on again at next years rally.

All of the above models were free sailing. Some wind, one electric powered and one rubber band powered.
This next lot had radio control and were electric powered.
