Roving Dam Rally ( Stage 1 ) - Lake Liddell Reserve.

The first Day of the Roving Dam Rally presented the five caravans at Lake Liddell witth a windy introduction to the Rotunda, but as our vans were parked around the perimeter we were given some protection from the gusty winds. Unfortunately the lake has been closed to recreatonal water activities but if it hadn't it would have been anideal surfing afternoon with wind induced choppy surface. On the scond day the winds had abated somewhat and our members most of whom were attending Lake Liddell for the first time were enjoying the lake, birdlife, kangaroos and the resident peacocks and the local Chernoble - Lake Liddell Power station off in the distance. Carmel (and Dave ) caught up with numerous relatives and friends on this stage as well as later stages,while other embers visited nearby Muswellbrook, Denman and surrounding areas such as Jerry's Plains. Our communal feast on Thursday evening could have fed the Singleton Army Barracks as well as our group of members - than you to all who attended and provided us with a fine selection of scrumptious vittles. And the weather also chipped in by providing a beautiful sunset and twilight for our group dinner. As the sun set in the west the lights from the power station took over to provide a pleasant backdrop (despite a few trees partially blocking our view). The following morning Annette providing morning tea. Advising us that the Maple Syrup Butter was definately low calorie! Thanks Annette. The following saw us all enthusiastically head off to enjoy stage two of the Roving Dam Rally. As first time Rally Leaders, Annette an I would like to pass on our appreciation and a big THANK YOU to everyone who attended not only the Lake Liddell stage of the rally but to all who attended the overall rally.From our perspective, the overall Roving Dam Rally was a huge success and we look forward to our club to hopefully arranging similar rallies into the future. Cheers ......... Jeff Prigg.
