2001 Swap Meets and Shows

(I'll continue to add more things here when I get them, send me any you get. NB: The following dates are
 approximate guesses from previous years, when confirmed they have a moving gearleaver logo next to them!)

A.E.H.F. INC. 48 - FJ NATIONALS LOXTON - DECEMBER 2004 Well now it's 2004 and time to think about the AEHF Nationals. Accommodation in Loxton is filling up a lot quicker than the committee expected. I guess this goes to show how eager everyone is to return to South Australia. There are NO rooms left in the Hotel / Motel. There are still quite a few sites powered and un-powered at the RiverView Caravan Park. This council campsite has been hired out completely by the AEHF INC. This is a camp site with 35 powered and 50 un-powered sites, these campsites are available from midday 25th December 2004 to mid- day 1st January 2005. There are shower and toilet amenities, shady trees, a huge lawned area with playground. It is also next door to the public swimming centre so bring your bathers. This park is adjacent to the oval where the Show 'N Shine" will be held. The River View Caravan Park is also where the AEHF Inc. Information tent will be set up. Camp sites range from $12.00 - $15.00. Applications for the council camp site can only be booked by contacting either Tony or Wendy Dowsett: phone 08) 8384 2759 / fax 08) 8382 6497 or by mail to: 54 Morrow Road Lonsdale S.A 5160. The Backpackers Hostel has rooms available with 2 bunks per room, air conditioner, fridge and colour TV in each room. The hostel has a large community kitchen (fully equipped) showers and toilet blocks on each floor and a huge balcony BBQ area available. If you are looking for something more exotic why not hire a houseboat. They can be moored at the river edge 5 minutes from the council camp site. There is lawns and a BBQ area on the riverbank. For more information on these, contact the Loxton Information and Tourist centre. There may still be a few B&B's in town with accommodation and we expect 2 new B&B's available by mid 2004.

Bridal costume for an FJ Holden, discarded, a fibreglass structure by Margaret Dodd, 1988

Cars have become metaphors for different experiences, personalities and cultures. In the work of artist Margaret Dodd, the FJ Holden is linked with the lives and images of women. She cast her Bridal costume sculpture in fibreglass from a real FJ — a car that is unusually loaded with memories and associations for many Australians. (There's some strange ones out there! - Ed)
