BREAKFAST RUN REPORT

Breakfast Run to Mount Barker
Sunday 26 th May 2019
the weather was not the best for the
kids. As a result, we all drove on a cou-
ple of “Ks” to Laratinga Wetlands, a
nature reserve off Bald Hills Road, and
well worth a visit as a very pleasant
place for a walk and to see the bird life.
Here we had our own large shelter
overlooking the lakes.
W
e received a few apologies from
people with family commitments
and on interstate or overseas travel jun-
kets, which left only a few “true believ-
ers” to take part in the breakfast run to
Mount Barker. The wet forecast proba-
bly didn’t help entice people to get up
early on a Sunday with the added prom-
ise of then having to clean the MG!
So thanks again to all those hardy souls
who made the effort.
Attendees:
Now that Berry also has a modern MG,
it meant that he could bring both dogs
along on the run. It was good that Ian
Drewe made a return to the fold, albeit
he came along only for the drive and
didn’t brave staying for the breakfast.

However, despite the gloomy forecast,
the day remained dry for the most part.
It in fact made for a pleasant winter’s
drive through the hills, with numerous
sightings of ‘roos in the paddocks. The
main convoy also again being joined for
part of the trip by a TR6 and another ‘B
just out for a drive.
Upon arrival at the Keith Stephenson
Park, Mount Barker, we found the car
park full as the venue had been taken
over by “little athletics”. Just a pity that
