To help keep us Covid-safe Committee decided to meet in Halliday Park, Mitcham. Great idea! Plenty of room, plenty of off-street parking, scenic and ... damn cold. Funny how this could be the one evening in the two weeks around it that turned out to be the coldest February evening for the month.

50th Birthday Photo Opp

- Written by Doug Williams Doug Williams
It started with this notice from the archives.
Why not celebrate the 50th birthday at the same place, date and time as the original meeting?
Well, it is a Friday this year, sure, but perhaps there are some Mokees who could get time off.
But the people who live there now are strangers, true but we only really want to stand in the street and take a photo and maybe do a drive-by video.
And it sounds like a bit of a crazy idea, wouldn't be the first crazy idea we've pulled off.
So we did!

Saturday night March 2nd, 2019, was a glorious evening for a top down drive to Dandenong, destination the Lunar Drive In. Well actually, of the three couples who came, no one chose the top down alternative because Allen & Jill Whatmore and Doug. Williams and Ina Koetsier came in their OVs and Paul and Marie Eaves came in their Moke, but it has a permanent hardtop.

Seven Mokes in attendance for the Northern Lights tour on a nice warm night for Moking. The first stop was the street displays around Brokewood Ave and this year there was plenty to look at even though one or two fo the regualr big displays were not up, some new ones filled the void. A bit of a slow cruise around to a couple of smaller displays and then for a ride on the big dipper on the way down to the court display at St Helena.

The Moke Ocean Road run for 2017 was held recently and it was a really good day with small group of 6 or 7 Mokes and one BV checking out the sights and enjoying the cool sea breeze on a hot day as we cruised along the coast and came home via the hills. Lunch on the Foreshore and afternoon tea in someone's unique garage and a bit of collectables shopping before coming back into the sweltering heat on the road back to Melbourne.

The South West Wander was attended by 31 Mokes in total on the day. The weather was great and we managed to visit all of the places we had planned.
Leaving Shepparton, we convoyed out of town and through the fruit growing outskirts, travelling to Rushworth via Tatura. A short stop at the Waranga Basin was a reminder of the importance to the region of the Goulburn Valley Irrigation Network for supplying water to the region for over 100 years.

What a beautiful day for a cruise along the Great Ocean Road in a Moke, no clouds, warm sun, sea breeze, good friends and some of the best winding road to be enjoyed in a Moke. Shame about the tourists.

The annual Bay in a Day for 2016 started off with a fairly pleasant morning and a forecast of 25 and late showers with seven Mokes meeting at Port Melbourne ready for the days adventure. Unfortunately Editor peter H. didn't get far from home before his Moke had issued so he limped it home and missed out.
