More Fiats were arriving so I wandered over. Turns out the Fiat club had coincidentally also organised a drive, and same meeting spot. I suggested they come with us but they had other plans.

A Jensen interceptor rolled in, but sounded like it was in need of some mechanical assistance, weird clunks.

The organiser gathered us all together. There were two routes: 30 mins and 1hour. We opted for the shorter one, knowing how slow Harry gets in the hills. And then we took off!

And soon were far behind the others, with a 20's Chev as distant company, who also was not great with hills.

We chugged our way along and eventually go to Kalorama! And there were already lots of cars there who had made their own way there. This was a fundraiser for the local Country Fire Authority, volunteer firefighters.

It's the second time we've driven Harry up the Ranges. A slow drive but a lovely one, with all the trees and greenery. This was a great spot for the event.

I love that most of these cars were driven to the event in the hills, barely any trailers could be seen.

We left the show early, didn't want to stop everyone with our slowness on the single lane roads.

Found our way down this green driveway, very much Haflinger terrain.

And we got to our friend's place, who sold us Harry! Had to say hi to his cousins. The yellow one used to be a weed sprayer for a council in Sydney. The other is a Pathfinder model, with bigger headlights, for the US market.

And Harry hung out with his original Haflinger, that he's owned for almost forty years.
