Yet again the Club has returned to Dutchman Stern in the flinders ranges and completed some amazing work to the Accommoda- tion buildings by installing new bench tops, oiling the decks and continuing to remove the box thorns and cactus. A big thankyou to our Volunteer coordinator and all the willing club members for their tireless efforts throughout the year to help our national park officers stay on top of the work. As we enter the New Year I am looking forward to clubs activi- ties and enjoying the great company of all the members and friends. So please arrange a trip and introduce as all to more amazing parts of this great state. If you are planning a trip this holiday season please make sure you take care on the roads and make time to explore areas on the way to your destination, I personally like comparing meat pies at all the bakeries along the way. It is with great sadness that we have lost an amazing member of our club, with the passing of Sue Temple. She will be remem- bered by all as an amazing, loving person who will be greatly missed and our condolences to Richard and her family on their loss. Merry Christmas Matt Corby The Location and Date of the next Committee meeting is at Debs on Friday 17th January 2020 Turn up to the meeting for a 7.30pm Start Please bring a plate of supper to share. 2 Editors Report Hi, Everyone, Yes another year has passed. It has been a busy year for members, with some welcoming babies into their families, some have found new friends , moved house, pur- chased another vehicle or spent a fortune on the one they already have. Sadly we have lost close family members and friends too. Fortunately our 4wheel driving allows to escape into the wonderful world around us, be it a photo trip to the Barossa, the unique Flinders Ranges with their ever changing hues and colours or a peaceful relax- ing stay at places like Katarapko on the River Murray. These places have different meanings to us all and I hope you are able to escape over the holiday break and enjoy the experience. Our last Club Meeting for the Year is on Friday 6th December. Remember that we have our Christmas Raffle and the Tickets are ONE DOLLAR EACH. Thanks to those who have contributed articles and helped me out this year with the magazine.

Sue was a wonderful happy person who had a positive effect on any Club event she was involved in. She enjoyed life and was a member of the Royal Australian Air Force, the EFS/ CFS, a competent swimmer and First Aid Instructor. Sue was very generous with her time volunteering with numerous organisations including Fifty Years of service to the Volunteer Fire Services where she was a Life Member, whilst also helping out with other organisations such as Meals on Wheels and First Aid training with St. John. Sue loved motorbikes, travelling overseas and in Australia and enjoyed camp- ing and 4WDriving with husband Richard, family and friends. Her favourite camping spot was Katarapto, near Berri where canoeing, social- ising , relaxing around the campfire and appreciating the location were some of the enjoyable activities which made Katarapto special. Sadly her illness prevented involvement in Club activities in recent years and she will be remembered with fond happy memories by all who knew her. Our love and thoughts go out to Richard , Bernie, Kevin ,Evie ,Family and Friends Katarapko, Murray River National Park ...subaru4wd.asn.au 4 December 2019 Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun 1 Club Christmas Picnic 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Rufus BBQ Salaman & Club Meeting 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Charlie Adam 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 Merry Christmas Everyone 30 31 5 January 2020 Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun 1 2 3 4 5 Happy David New Year Nankivell Everyone 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Lorraine Hosking 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Pam Committee Fidler Meeting @ Debs 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Trevor Harris 27 28 29 30 31 Remember, February 7th is the next Club Meeting & February 9th is the Silver Sands Beach Day 6 February 2020 Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Claire Rosemary Gill Silver Coombe Shinks Thorncroft Sands BBQ & Club Beach Meeting Day 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Matthew Shinks 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 Aiden Committee Helen McLean Meeting Adam T.B.A. 24 25 26 27 28 29 7 COMING TRIPS Drive Inn Movie Night The Committee is looking for a suitable Movie.

Everything including Gloves, Boots , Hats, Sun- screen , etc. Notes: This Annual Border Track Inter Club maintenance event is typically held on the last weekend of the Summer Closure to prepare the track for the coming season. With out this working bee the (S.A / Vic) Border Track could face closure , so it is important that we support this work to keep the track open.

We work on the one way section of the track or where the Ranger has jobs 10 COMING TRIPS Cont Trip: SIMPSON DESERT CROSSING ADVANCE NOTICE Dates: July 2021 – School Holidays (2 weeks, approx) Trip Leaders: Darren Hosking & Paul Kinnear Cost: T.B.A. Notes: This an advance notice for those who may be interested. The Subaru’s are more than capable of this trip however heavy-duty springs are required as a minimum. The running of this event will depend in the timing of the music concert on Big Red near Birdsville, which closes the sandhill, making the trip pointless. Straddling three states, the Simpson Desert is the largest parallel sand dune desert in the world. More than 1,100 dunes, shaped into long red waves by westerly winds, roll from Birdsville in outback Queensland west towards Alice Springs across the top of South Aus- tralia. It was the last of the Australian deserts to be explored by Europeans – the first to cross its expanse was Ted Colson, on camel, in 1936; Reg Sprigg and family in the first vehicle in 1962.
