President’s Report: Welcome and thank you to our guest speakers for their informative and
entertaining First Aid presentation. Thank you also to those members who
accepted office bearer positions at the AGM. I am looking forward to
working with you over the next 12 months. As members know the position
of Events Director was not filled at the AGM. John Kaczmarek has kindly
stepped in to become the spokesperson for the Events Committee. This
gesture is greatly appreciated.
Our fellow member Ian McLeish passed away on 14 August and was
buried at Queanbeyan cemetery after a service at Christ Church
Queanbeyan. STHARC members provided a motorcade procession and
guard of honour for Ian‟s service. Ian‟s Mercedes sports car was the first
vehicle to greet the funeral cortege as it entered the lawn cemetery. I
would like to hold a moment of silence in memory of our friend. The club
passes on its condolences to the family.

Editor’s Report :President thanked Rosemary for taking on the role as Editor. John Thomas presented a report on behalf of the Editor.The Editor

STHARC club member Ian McLeish, suffered a serious fall in December
2015, which resulted in hospitalization and surgery. Ian managed a
significant recovery but about mid 2016 complications and other issues
resulted in a deterioration of his health. Ian passed away on 15 August
2016.
Ian served in various office bearer positions for the club and for the past
several years has been the Club‟s Public Officer. Ian and Krys have been
frequent participants in club events and have hosted many events at their
home including the regular Melbourne Cup Day party.
STHARC club members were invited by the family to celebrate Ian‟s life
with his family and other friends.
A service was held at Christ Church Queanbeyan on 24 August followed
by a burial at Queanbeyan Lawn Cemetery. The church was packed to
capacity with family and friends including a large number of STHARC
members. Following the church service, a convoy of 19 STHARC club
cars drove to the cemetery where they formed a guard of honour along
the entrance driveway. The first car in the guard of honour was Ian‟s
former 450SL Mercedes sports.

Southern Tablelands Heritage Automotive Restorers Club Inc. page 7
Following the burial a wake was held at the Queanbeyan RSL Bowling
Club in Yass Road. Krys felt that Ian would have been thrilled with the
guard of honour mounted for him with the club cars. Krys appears to be
coping well with her loss and has indicated that she intends maintaining
her club membership and being involved in club activities.

It was the 10th anniversary of the Golden Oldies Truck Club at Dubbo and what a great gathering it turned out to be with record entries.
On the Friday they organised a trip to a cotton farm near Narromine. We didn‟t see much cotton, but there was a lot of interesting machinery, from horse carts to massive low loaders and farm machinery. The owner told me his father had the International Harvester dealership for the area. He had Inters in his blood and all he read was Inter manuals, so on his passing they buried him with a workshop manual to keep him busy beyond the Pearly Gates.
On the return trip we went through Narromine to see Geoff Rudd‟s White prime mover being restored. There was no “gunna do it up” by the new owner, it was well under way. He is hoping to have it ready for the White Muster early next year at Kyabram.
The Saturday was the display day it was full on with many tired legs by about 3.00 pm. The trucks came from as far as Murray Bridge (a 1947 Bedford of course), Melbourne, Sydney and Southern Queensland.
The machinery on display was ranged from a 1910 International truck/ buggy to the latest prime movers, Howard rotary Hoes, Cars, Tractors, Dozers and to top it off the ladies showed their skills with a very interesting Quilt show.

The theme of the show this
year was
FORD TRUCKS
The Dubbo TAFE had an excellent display of the latest in machinery engines. Their team of explainers were very well informed and were only too happy to talk with the public about each engine.
The trip to and from Dubbo went without a hitch. The Dodge performed well and we had good breaks and meals at the little country towns along the way that appreciate tourist support.

Greazefest On Friday 5th August , Simon and I set out at 1 am in the morning in the
Hotrod for Greazefest which was held at the Cleveland Showground just
outside of Brisbane. We arrived at our friend‟s house, where we were
staying, at about 6 pm that night where the Purple People Eater was
lucky enough to share the garage with Rhonda, the Little Red Car.
Greazefest is a Rockabilly, Rock‟n‟Roll show with Cars of the 50‟s and
60‟s, hotrods and customized cars and some from earlier times.
They have bands who play mainly Rockabilly style music. They have
Rock‟n‟Roll and Rockabilly dancing and many
people dress up in their 50‟s era clothes.
There are many stalls selling clothes related
to the era, bags, car parts etc. Barbers cut
hair to the era and they sold the original
brushes for shaving and the original type
razors most of the men in this club would
remember. One of the barbers called Jimmy
Rods has a bar in his barber shop and you
can have a drink while your hair is being done
or sit at the bar and have one or two after.
They don‟t cut hair for children under 18.
Southern Tablelands Heritage Automotive Restorers Club Inc. page 11
After a day of listening to music, sussing out the cars, wandering around
the stalls and catching up with a friend who had moved up that way 15
years ago we took the cars back to their garage and drove a modern into
Brisbane to an Eat Café. It was along the Brisbane River and it was quite
a few shipping containers which are fitted out as kitchens and you can
wander around them and choose what type of food you would like to eat.
We got there at 6 and cars were parked a km or more away. We were
lucky enough to park just outside the door because of my crutches. We
had a good meal there. It was a very popular place.
The following day we had another good day at Greazefest picking up the
Trophy for the longest distance travelled. We were surprised when
someone we knew from here came up and said hello. We headed home
at 8 am on the Monday. Unfortunately we had picked up some stale or
dirty fuel the night before and started having problems with the car. By the
time we got to Armidale we had topped up the tank regularly enough and
our problems were over. It was a great weekend but a few more days
next time would be good.

Council Reports:
ACT Council :ACT Government has an events policy document out for comment at the moment. Inputs are expected by September. The
major issue of interest seems to be getting some consistency in ACT
government approach to road closures for events. The working group to
review the operation of the CACTMC now has two members. No sign of
other volunteers. The Canberra Pie cart is now again without a home and
is parked outside at a suburban residence and looking for a secure
covered home.
Bush Council :The modified vehicle concessional arrangements to be known as CVS are believed to have been signed off by the Minister to-
day. No confirmation has yet been seen. The 2/3 of rated capacity
restriction which applied to H plated commercial vehicles has been
removed and such vehicles may now be used up to their full rated
capacity.The half yearly meeting of CHMC will be held in Parkes, on 23
October. Allan plans to attend.
Events: No-one present at the meeting attended Battle of Waterloo on Sunday.
The French are anticipated to have been disadvantaged by the
conditions, the lack of access to Land Rovers and the treason
implications of using Wellington boots.
John Thomas and Geoff Rudd have hired a mini bus for a run to Port
Kembla on 9 October to attend the Cleary Bros Museum open day. They
already have 6 intending participants and will hire a second bus if
necessary. The anticipated cost will be about $32.50 per person if all
available seats are taken up and of course more if there are empty seats.
Members interested need to contact John or Geoff. Secretary is to send
out message to members on this event.
The social dinner gathering this Thursday night will be held at Vikings
Club at Erindale. October is at Pizza Palace, Colbee Court Phillip then
back to the Burns Club at Kambah for November. There will also be a
gathering at the Royal Hotel Bungendore for lunch on Sunday 25
September.
This Saturday there will be a club run to Braidwood and Majors Creek.
Run departs the club house at 9.00 for morning tea at Braidwood then
lunch at Major‟s Creek for a BBQ on David and Gill Buckley‟s new block.
October mid week run is to CSIRO Discovery Centre at Black Mountain.
Southern Tablelands Heritage Automotive Restorers Club Inc. page 13
The first morning tea gathering for lady members is planned for Friday 23
September at 10.30 am at Gifts and Gadgets in Crawford Street
Quenabyean. Subsequent gatherings will be planned for the last Friday in
the month.
General Business:
New membership application – An application for membership has been received from Bob Gutesa who is known to a number of members
and has a 1962 Falcon. The Committee has considered the application
and recommends acceptance of Bob as a member. Members present
voted to accept the new member.
Abuse of concessional registration - The notice from ACT RTA about misuse of historic plated vehicles has been placed on the STHARC
website. A proposal was received for a motion to impose automatic
cancellation of membership for any member found to be involved in such
use of club plated vehicles.
The motion was discussed by members present. It was pointed out that
the action proposed appears to require an amendment of the club‟s
Constitution which is in itself exceedingly difficult to achieve. Existing
provisions in the club‟s Constitution are perhaps sufficient to deal with this
situation anyway. In view of the need to amend the Constitution to
implement the motion it was decided that the motion cannot properly be
put forward for decision at this meeting.
Rhonda Winnett has advised that she has an original framed hand
painted picture of a 1951 Jaguar, Mark V Drophead, Coupe, by famed
South Australian artist, Allan Ames and has offered to donate it to the
club to be sold to an interested person. It was agreed that the Webmaster
will discuss possibilities with the donor and look at dealing with the sale
through the website. Other relevant clubs such as the Jaguar Drivers
Club will also be advised of the likely sale and invited to participate.
Rhonda also has Club magazines back to 2003. Anyone interested in a
little light reading should contact Rhonda.
The Wheels Choice trophy for 2016 was awarded to David Arton and
Alicia Tipping for their VW Beetle. They were unable to attend the awards
presentation dinner event. The trophy was presented to them by the
President.
The Girl Guides are looking to erect a shed in the enclosure adjacent to
the hall. They have asked if STHARC members would be able to assist
with the pouring of the concrete slab when the time comes. Members
agreed that we will try to assist when asked. Continued on page 16

PRESIDENT’S ANNUAL REPORT( Omitted from AGM Minutes) Good evening. 2015/16 was again a successful year for STHARC. Our
membership has continued to grow steadily and I welcome our newer
members to this their first AGM. STHARC is all about our members love
and enjoyment of historic vehicles. And we share this interest at events
and social gatherings throughout the year. I am pleased to see the
excellent attendance at our monthly meetings and the great success of
the various club runs and other activities during the year. At the heart of
every successful club there is always an active committee that manages
the affairs of the organisation and I want to wholeheartedly thank all the
STAHARC committee members for their work and commitment.
Firstly I want to thank Geoff Rudd in his role as Vice President. Through
his vast business experience and knowledge, Geoff has supported both
myself and the committee with insight and understanding. I was
especially grateful for your support during my long illness late last year.
The club is lucky to have someone with the energy and abilities of Lawrie
Nock to fill the critical role of secretary. Lawrie manages the day to affairs
of our club. Lawrie keeps us up to date. This is evidenced from the
numerous communications we receive from him and when you include his
role in representing us on the Council of ACT motor clubs we can all see
Southern Tablelands Heritage Automotive Restorers Club Inc. page 17
just how much he does for us. Thanks Lawrie.
Historic Vehicle registration is self managed by clubs recognised by the
RTA. The RTA rules instruct that each club appoint a registrar to
oversight the club‟s compliance with registration requirements. This is an
important and highly responsible role and STHARC is and has for some
time been lucky to have someone with the abilities, integrity and fairness
of someone like John Corbett and I thank him for his work in what has
been a very busy year for our registrar. I would also like to thank Pam
Corbett who acts as our membership secretary. Pam and John are active
in many areas of the club‟s activities and are a great example to us all.I
would like to thank Albert Neuss for his continuing role as vehicle
inspector.
Brian Thomas manages our accounts with great efficiency. He provides
excellent financial guidance to the Committee and to our members
including compliance with corporate standards and Governance.
The centre pages of our club magazine list the numerous and various
activities and outings available to members. This central activity of our
club has been brilliantly managed by Jane Nock with the support of her
sub-committee. Jane‟s excellent organising abilities contribute to an
interesting range of events throughout the year. A glance through the roll
call for our events is testament to the efforts of Jane, Pauline Campbell,
David Torricke-Barton, David Arton, Alicia tipping and John Kaczmareck. I
also want to thank that committee for their great efforts in organising the
Christmas party and annual presentation dinner.
For many years the STHARC website was problematic. We all know what
a powerful tool our website can be and I want to thank our Webmaster
Malcolm Roxburgh for delivering that tool. Thanks to Malcolm our website
is up to date, well presented and professional. The website gives us
ability to publish more information in a more timely manner than any other
medium. Thanks Malcolm.
Ray and Barbara Malam have control over the vast property resources of
STHARC and I thank them for their efforts. Our clothing is contemporary
and Barbara always manages to supply a great range of prizes for our
raffles. Continued on page 22

Frank and Mark Culmone’s
International R190 truck. (Cover Story)
Of the all time popular trucks the International R190 was the truck of the 1950‟s and early 60‟s. It was the one that made International Harvester famous. They were to be seen everywhere and doing everything. The pictured truck is owned by club members Mark and Frank
Culmone of Goulburn. It is a 1965 model. They purchased it and it was used on a freight run from Canberra to Braidwood. The Cummins engine was rebuilt in 1988 and the truck was totally restored in 1988. The International on the back is a D1110, 1985 Model. This vehicle is as original and unrestored. It was previously owned by Mr Colin Pike of Temora who bought it new. The purchase was made from the winnings of the well known harness racing horse Paleface Adios, the horse was owned by Mrs Shirley Pike. (There is a monument in Temora to Paleface Adios, considered the Phar Lap of harness racing .)
Thanks to John Corbett and Mark Culmone for the information supplied .

Big Boys’ Toys Expo
We were asked by Steven
Farmer if we would display
the Hotrod in the Shannon‟s
Display at the Big Boys Toys
Expo on the 20th and 21st
August.
On the 18th I drove it to the media launch and it appeared on the Win
News that night along with other modes of transport including a
helicopter. One of the highlights of the launch was the 13 ton fire truck
which was being pulled by a local strong man. It was the 2nd year the
exhibition was held to raise money for Menslink.
On the weekend they had displays of remote controlled vehicles of all
types, and a pavilion dedicated to robotics and technology, including
drones and robots. They also had displays of fitness activities and then
boats, water sport, motorised scooters, karts etc. There were a few
displays to interest women.
There were a couple of car clubs who came along, one of them being the
Yass Club and then a few of the more modern cars. It would have been
nice to see more people display their car. There was a people‟s choice
which was won by one of the more modern Fords. The prize was donated
by The Retro Garage in Gladstone St, Fyshwick.
The display which I found was most
interesting was the display of 3D
Printers. There was a large pavilion
dedicated to this. I went back 5 times
to see the different stages some of the
projects were at.

The Driver by Alice Mabim.
Alice wrote this book as a tribute to people involved in the Australian and New Zealand road transport industry during the twenty-first century. It is a quality hardback book. A milestone of transport history page precedes 227 pages of magnificent photos and personal stories from trucking companies and personalities in each state and territory of Australia. New Zealand‟s section is at the back of the book. It is just the book for the coffee table or man cave. The cost is $69.99. I have purchased it and not being an avid reader, the pictures are equal to a thousand words. Abletts of Queanbeyan appear in this book. The book can be purchased from www.almabinphotography.com

Read a book which may be of
interest to our club members?
Write a brief review and send it in
to share.
Southern Tablelands Heritage Automotive Restorers Club Inc. page 21
From Murrumbateman a total of 12 cars travelled without incident to
Binalong where the first port of call was Stuart Saunders‟ motor museum.
We were met at the museum by our host and several members of the
Young Club who had taken up our invitation to join us for the visit and
lunch. The museum is not a large one
but holds an interesting collection of
vehicles. Notable was a dray parked
outside the main entrance which
appeared to be powered by a Rolls-
Royce Meteor engine, a scale model
Flying Scot railway locomotive and a
scaled down Ferrari V12 block engine.
In the workshop we discovered a type
43
Bugatti and a 1920s Delage. The Delage
was flanked by what one of our members
described as a basket case wickerwork
body on one side and a straight 8
Packard engine in the process of being
rebuilt on the other.
In the main part of the museum, the MAB
powered by a 27 litre Lycombing engine
remains a very impressive beast and
dwarfs all of the other cars and exhibits. A couple of members were
observed trying to work out how to spirit the Bolwell Nagari away but they
were not successful.

Continued from page 17
STHARC is part of a large group of automotive enthusiast clubs in NSW. I want to thank Allan and Chris Boyd for looking after our interests on the Bush Council. Last year saw the introduction of the log book scheme and the regular updates on its development including the separate treatment of modified vehicles was of great value to us all. Historic registration is a critical issue for our club and we are well served by Allan and Chris in support of our club‟s interests. STHARC like any organisation is subject to corporate regulation and compliance matters. Our public Officer of long standing Ian Mcleish has served us diligently in his role as public officer. I want to thank Ian for all his years of service to the club including those as President. I am sure we all wish Ian well as he recovers in hospital. Following my years as publisher I didn‟t think the club magazine could get much better but was I wrong. As editor David Buckley has taken the magazine to new heights. David is creative and has exhibited a great flair as a journalist. David has been ably supported by the publishing committee made up by John and Ronda Cornwell, Ian and Krystyna Mcleish, Geoff Rudd and Jane Nock. I want to thank David and his team for such a wonderful effort for keeping us informed and for the enjoyment that our magazine provides. Last of all I want to thank our members for your continued patronage and I want to encourage you all to consider the various vacant positions during our election later in proceedings. I look forward to the next year and I am sure that the club will continue to flourish with your support.
Continued from page 21.
After an interest packed tour the group headed for the local pub for what
had been promised to be an enjoyable meal. Lunch in the beer garden
was a pleasant social affair supported by plenty of good food. The turn
out of club members was once again exceptional. The destination did not
fail to impress.

Holden Heritage Coin Sale
at the Mint. Regardless of the inclement weather on Saturday August 11, queues
started amassing early for purchasing. Some brave people having
queued from the early hours (one man was there at 1am.),to secure their
set of coins. The cars that were used for etching the Heritage collection
were on show as well as many other vintage Holdens. There was a limit
of one Heritage Collection per person. Single coins were also available.
Many people were disappointed with not being able to purchase a set of
the Holden Heritage coin collection as the Mint rapidly sold out of stock.
John Thomas and Jeff Gill were among the lucky ones from our club.
Graham Bates was present
to check out the Holdens.

Observation run to Sutton and Gundaroo
August 28 This event was scheduled as an observation run. Time got the better of
us so the functioning of the run was changed but the name remained
unchanged.
Members arriving at the club house observed that there were other club
members present. The convoy participants then had the opportunity to
observe the countryside as they headed out along Sutton Road to Sutton
village where by observation they were able to locate a bakery where
once there was none.
Inside the premises, the Baker at Sutton had a line up of treats for club
members to observe. Some were not satisfied to observe and sampled
the wares. The group grew as additional members arrived. Outside the
premises in the car park there was another observation to be made. In
times past for VW to have won the day on numbers would have required
the Karmann Ghia and Ringo to turn up for a run with not many others.
Not merely a third VW present but another from the VW stable to
accompany them. You may scoff but Bentley now comes out of the VW
stable so there were sort of 4 VWs there (not many observed that).
Eventually most of the participants decided to head off to Gundaroo to
observe the situation there. Those with local knowledge were able to
point participants to a difficult to observe Friendly Grocer store off the
main street. Observant members found a take away at the rear of the
shop. Fish and chips was the main order for the day. The less hardy
stayed in the store to eat while the more adventurous headed off to the
Gundaroo Oval to picnic or observe the buildings in the main street of
Gundaroo.
The blue skies remained visible throughout the day. The only problem
was that they seemed to be somewhere over Murrumbateman or Yass.
The very brief ray of sunshine was very welcome but too short lived. No-
one seemed to be interested in taking the dirt road observation of Lake
George so Jane invited the not too observant home for a cuppa.
Southern Tablelands Heritage Automotive Restorers Club Inc. page 25
Condition of entry was not observing the state of the housework.
About 15 members took afternoon tea courtesy of Jane and spent a lazy
hour or so relaxing. Not wishing to test the kangaroo observation skills
any more than absolutely essential everyone was back in the cars and
headed home by 4.00pm.
