Rally pins have arrived, more than required for below.  To the best of my knowledge, they are to go to:

  *  Nigel 
  *  Williamson 
  *  Ppopeye & Chris 
  *  JD & Chippy 
  *  Sulkybear 
  *  Marcus 
  *  Aussiexs & Debbie 
  *  RuSTynutz & Sue 
  *  Kev Murphy   

If you registered for the NatRally at Mannum, and I've NOT listed you above, please let me know.   Also, some of you may have had two registrations, ie. you're waiting on two pins - let me know. 

And, it looks like the pins won't be circulated until we meet at Cape Paterson, or East Trentham, and for some (Kev?), even later.  However, if you feel that you can't live without your pin until you attend an RTE (and I agree), I'll post it to you.

Finally (for now), thanks to Chris (ST2UP) for today's AusPost package.

Yep, at least one is in Brisbane now, thanks ST2UP!

[Kev Murphy]

  Cape Paterson sounds good for me

Does anyone know how the caravan park is getting on with the flooding at Mannum
We stayed in the cabin right next to the water

[LindsayGT]

Not sure, but I expect it wouldn’t be a pretty sight!

A number of cabins have been moved and powered sites closed. A massive levee has been built which should protect the essential infrastructure - unlike the poor buggers at the Kingston on Murray caravan park. Their $300k levee was breached, lost everything including life savings used to build the levee.

[Wild Rose]

Thank you for that. I was thinking of them for there bit after a wonderful revisit to South Australia

This video gives a good summary of the preparations at Mannum, it was made around December 31.

This second video, again made on the 31st, from the 8:30 minute mark clearly shows what is happening at the caravan park. I'd imagine they'd be a little nervous with the amount of seepage occurring and the fact the river has a bit more to rise in the next week at Mannum before falling.
