Linda and I have just returned from another Ballarat Swap, and I must say that it would be one of the better swaps that we have attended there. There were alot less empty sites this year, and I think we made better purchases as well. Although it is a bit hard for Linda as there is not always alot of stuff to keep the women interested as most of the sites have car related bits.
We ran into a few old friends and made alot of new ones as well, as I think I got around to introducing myself to most of the people that Historic Caravans there. But it was a pritty big task as I overheard one of the organisers talking and he said that if you walked every isle in the swap meet it totaled to 14 kms. So I wonder how many kilometeres I walked zig zagging from site to site, and there was Saturday morning as well.
An axle and guard assembly for a teardrop camper. I did notice that by Saturday the axle was still for sale minus the guards, so someone must have had a project.
I also spotted this Sportsman that has only had 2 owners and the current one has had it for more than 20 years.

A few more of the vans at the swap.
This English Sterling caravan has had a recent tidy up and now looks great.
