Breakfast Run to Goolwa Beach –
Don Walker’s Place
Sunday 31 st March 2019
F
or the 5 th year running we were in-
vited to Don Walker’s place at
Goolwa Beach, a great location and a
great opportunity to look at Don’s auto-
motive projects. He has even put on an
extension to his, already large, shed
since last year. The 2 cars are coming
along steadily, and to a high standard.
Firstly, thanks to John Roach who has
kindly agreed to assist with these runs
this year. John was at the start to sign
everybody on, and then to pick up on
those who made their own way to
Goolwa, which for this run was the ma-
jority of people, as only 7 cars were ac-
tually at the official start!
Amongst the Veale Garden starts was
first timer, Terry Cook, in his early MGB.
It was good to welcome Terry on these
runs and he even made a name for him-
self by leading the convoy to Goolwa
and navigating to the correct route with-
out a navigator to help him.
Another first timer was Ken Harnett in
his lovely early “flat-rad” Morgan.
Amongst the guests was Judy Glasson’s
brother Ron, over from the Blue Moun-
tains.
Peter Shipside brought out his lovely
1940 MGWA once more, this time after
a major engine rebuild. For those who
do not know, this car has been in Peter’s
family since new and before Peter was
born!
So thanks once more for the invite Don,
and for another great day.
again taking all the snap shots of the
people and cars at Goolwa.
Following the “breakfast” a few of us
went to the second and final day of the
Mount Alma Hill Climb (The Mt Alma
Mile) in the Inman Valley to cheer on
John Davies, who did very well. Unfortu-
nately, it was the last year that this event
will be held, a great shame as it is a ter-
rific climb and is in a wonderful location.
