Australia Day for me, was at the Cleveland Retro cruise/food vans, and market

 Glenn and Sue travelling in convoy.....
 Ha...caught him stopping for some food.....nice spot you picked....

 Col and Dawn Dunn flying the aussie flag high!

 cruise started at Capalaba, and went around the circle at Cleveland Point, then back to Cleveland Woolworths carpark.

 think the count was around 350 cars...not bad, considering all the other events on Aust. Day.




 John Taylor....coffee morning is not until Sunday...you're early!!!

 nice shady park, and the rain didn't happen....


 by 6pm, the place was getting packed by spectators..
