Editor’s/Plates Notes

This is a quiet time of the year for the club, personally suffering withdrawal symptoms from not being out in a car every weekend.

Membership is down to 50 members, not a big issue really as the lower numbers has dramatically reduced the amount of controversy in the club. Everyone appears to be quite happy being members of a club that has no committees, no executive, just some members as office bearers to fulfil the commitment to Fair Trading. None of the office bearers have any more power or decision making than any other member. I’m not sure whether I would like to see the club grow to the old numbers of around 100 members, it is so good and friendly as it is now with everyone chipping in help when needed.

It would be nice to get more participation in club events, more to a club meeting and some other females at both meetings and runs. I’ve toned down my thoughts on LOG BOOKS although I still do not see a necessity as the original system providing recorded the correct way allows just as much freedom. Some clubs read into the original rules things that are not there. The club appears to put restrictions on vehicle use that are not necessary or part of the RMS policy. Boils down to one log book held by the club or a log book held by each member, really do not see any major difference. As long as the Log Book is filled out all is okay. The CAVC log book is a “MOVEMENT DIARY ‘ which is self-explanatory, all movements recorded.

These fires are very sad, and I get upset by people trying to lay blame on something, fact is that this is AUSTRALIA, its Fire Season and we are in a drought. There really is nothing anyone can do or could have done to reduce these catastrophic fires. My own opinion is to allow the RFS to clean up areas by backburning in winter to reduce the dried and dead timber from the forests, especially around villages. There have been serious fires before, ASH WEDNESDAY as an example. The state government and RFS expected last year in January to be catastrophic but weather conditions kept it mild stopping any major fires. This time, there was just too much fuel and wind, so instead of fires that could be controlled, we had these fire storms. California suffers annually from the same sorts of fires and fire storms, it really is a natural event that every effort every year is made to prepare for the fire season.

60 Years of Mini at Motorclassica By Tom Fraser, 15 Oct 2019 Car Style

Mini marks its 60th anniversary at Motorclassica by looking back on some the stories, cars and people that made the icon what it is today Mini is celebrating its big 60th anniversary in 2019 and amid a collection of worldwide celebrations, Mini Australia marked the occasion at the 10th annual Motorclassica exhibition.

And what better occasion than this to examine just why the quintessentially British brand has endured for so long, and become the

compact car specialist that it is today. A true cornerstone of

automotive history, the humble Mini was first designed in retaliation to fuel shortages in the United Kingdom. Sales of fuel efficient small cars boomed, prompting the British Motor Corporation to get creative and introduce a competitor to the likes of the Fiat 500, BMW Isetta and Messerschmitt KR200. The Mini was first designed in 1959 and rushed to market shortly thereafter, quickly exploding in popularity and becoming the pop culture icon as we know it today.

One of the first models all of

us would have noticed however was the Mini Cooper, created by British racing legend John Cooper by stroking out the engine, fitting a close-ratio gearbox and disc brakes. The Cooper was designed for performance rather than outright people carrying and set the scene for a David-vs-Goliath theme on the world’s racing circuit, thoroughly trouncing much more powerful rivals.

Mini also should feel familiar to Australia, as

they were made locally from 1961 onwards in the Sydney suburb of Zetland. Its popularity quickly grew Down Under thanks to its reliability and affordable price tag, growing from 20 models produced per day to around 100, climbing to third on the Australian sales charts in 1963. You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn’t heard of the Mini, and there’s a reason why its legend has stood the test of time to this day.

To help mark the milestone, Mini Australia invited Rauno Aaltonen, Bob Holden and Linda Devlinor to Motorclassica to share what made the brand so special.

https://www.whichcar.com.au/car-reviews/2018-mini-cooper-review


From left to right: Rauno Aaltonen, Bob Holden and Linda Devlinor Aaltonen, the legend of rally that he is, first came to the Mini brand in the early 1960s. Praising the Mini’s short, squat stance, Aaltonen moved to the Mini due to his disdain for long overhangs causing understeer, saying “it was like poison [for fast driving]”.

Conversely, the Mini presented a compact driving package that featured a wheel in each corner. Sure, it

might have been underpowered in relation to other competitors of the era, however, where other teams had to tread carefully in terms of putting the power down (especially on gravel or snow during a rally), the Mini was able to zip out of a corner thanks to its lightweight body and tractable power delivery.

Mini cemented its reputation as a motorsport underdog through the 60s and 70s, famously winning the Monte Carlo rally in 1964 and again in 1965 and 1967. Closer to home, Rauno Aaltonen and Bob Holden won the effective Bathurst 1000 of the era, the Gallagher 500 at Mount Panorama.

More than motorsport, the Mini was embraced by all walks of life. On display at Motorclassica was a highway patrol Cooper S, a hunch-backed Cooper S Monaco and even a wood-panelled Mini station wagon.

The Mini carried on well into

the 90s, when it was inherited by the BMW brand – which developed the idea into a new model in 2001.

From there, the humble hatch has spawned into a number of spin-offs over the past 20 years including a convertible, the estate-like Clubman, the high-riding Countryman, a Paceman two-door crossover and the Coupe and Roadster sports duo.


Open Day 29th December

Very quiet as far as members go, but absolutely flat out with visitors, I estimate at least 35 visitors during the day. Luckily there was a half hour break giving time for lunch. There were even two cars of visitors after I closed, only the flag to put away. Under Normal circumstances I would have re-opened, but to be honest, just worn out, made worse by a having a summer cold. There were quite a few visitors that just wandered around without a tour, mainly because there was a tour just finishing. The last few Open Days have been very busy, the club may have to start a roster to ensure that opening the station does not rely on just a couple of people. Ian’s E type was a big hit with the visitors, so many commented on the beauty of the car. Thanks to Kathy for bringing my lunch to the station, Kathy was busy on babysitting sitting duties and didn’t stay long. A huge thanks to Ian who, as seems to happen every open day, closes most of the station up and helps put things away.

Ladies Page BEEF, ZUCCHINI AND QUINOA MEATLOAF SERVES 6 INGREDIENTS 800g lean beef mince ½ cup quinoa, rinsed 2 zucchini 1 carrot, grated 3 tsp smoked paprika 3 cloves garlic, crushed 1 egg, lightly whisked 70g smoked cheddar cheese, grated Green leafy salad, to serve METHOD Grease and line the base and long sides of a 10 x 21cm loaf tin (base measurement) with a sheet of baking paper. Preheat oven to 180C.


Place quinoa in a small saucepan with 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10-12 minutes until water has evaporated. Allow to cool. Grate zucchini and sprinkle lightly with salt. Place in a sieve set over a bowl and leave to drain for 10 minutes. Squeeze zucchini firmly to extract liquid. Place beef mince, zucchini, carrot, cooked quinoa, paprika, garlic, egg and half the cheese in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well until combined. Place mixture in loaf tin and smooth the top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 1 hour or until juices run clear or a thermometer reads 71C. Allow to cool for 20 minutes, pour off juices and place meatloaf on a cooling rack set over a tray to cool. Slice and serve. TIPS Greek meatloaf- swap the smoky cheddar and paprika for feta or haloumi cheese and thyme, dill or oregano. Serve with a Greek salad of olives, tomato, capsicum, cucumber and feta. Use different vegetables, such as leftover diced roast vegetables, mashed pumpkin or sweet potato. Try adding different flavourings such as a little soy and sesame oil with some grated ginger for a Chinese feel. Mix the mince with the other ingredients really well to make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed. The mixing also helps the meatloaf to hold together after it's cooked. Allow the meatloaf to cool for a little longer to help it keep it's shape when you slice it. It can be a little fragile when it's straight out of the oven. You can make a gravy out of the meat juices from the meatloaf. Simply add to a medium frying pan with a tablespoon of flour and cook slowly for about 5 minutes until thickened and the flour is cooked. Add a little red wine vinegar or lemon juice to balance the flavour and season to taste. Try cooked rice instead of quinoa. If preparing the day before, you can cool the meatloaf in the tin after draining the juices. Cover and cool in the refrigerator overnight.

Five minute microwave cheesecake Difficulty easy Cooking time less than 15 minutes Serves 8 Ingredients Scotch finger biscuits Gingersnaps 8 tablespoons melted butter cinnamon 1 cup cream cheese ¾ cup caster sugar 1 cup cream vanilla 2 eggs Method Note: Line your silicone cake tin with baking paper to help with easy un-moulding. Make your base; Smash up your biscuit crumbs (a combination of Scotch Finger and Ginger nut biscuits s good, to make about 1½ cups of crumbs). Mix them with around 8 tablespoons of melted butter and then press them into the bottom of your lined silicone cake pan. NOTE: For safety reasons use a silicon pan - because we don't put metal cake tins into the microwave... they will spark and cause explosions. Place the cake tin bin to the fridge to set for a few minutes while you make the filling.


Beat your filling; With a electric hand beater whip up 1 cup of cream cheese with ¾ cup of caster sugar and a dash of vanilla essence for 2 minutes. Into the cream cheese whip 1 cup of thickened cream until stiff and then add in two eggs and whip until it combines. Fill your cake mould; Take the biscuit base out of the fridge and pour the filling over the top. Give it a bit of a jiggle to remove air bubbles. Cook your cake; Microwave the cake on high for 2 minutes and check it. Then microwave it for another 2 minutes and check it again. From here, microwave it in 30 second bursts until is is set around the edges but has a slight jiggle in the middle when you wobble it. This will depend entirely on your microwave. Place the cake in the fridge for an hour or so to finish setting. Or for as long as you can stand it.

Dorothea Mackellar Dorothea Mackellar was born Isobel Marion Dorothea Mackellar at Point Piper in Sydney, NSW on 1 July 1885. Her parents were Sir Charles Kinnaird Mackellar, a notable Sydney physician, and Marion Mackellar (nee Buckland). She had three brothers, Keith, Eric and Malcolm.

“My Country” is a poem about Australia, written by Mackellar at the age of 19 while homesick in the United Kingdom. After travelling through Europe extensively with her father during her teenage years, she started writing the poem in London in 1904 and re-wrote it several times before her return to Sydney. The poem was first published in The Spectator in London on 5 September 1908 under the title “Core of My Heart”. It was reprinted in many Australian newspapers, such as The Sydney Mail and New South Wales Advertiser, who described the ‘little poem’ as striking the right note of “…the clear, ringing, triumphant note of love and trust in [Australia].” The poem quickly became well known and established Mackellar as a poet.

Her family owned substantial properties in the Gunnedah district of New South Wales and a property (Torryburn) in the Paterson district of the Hunter Region. The poem is believed to have been directly inspired by witnessing the breaking of a drought when she was at Torryburn; “My Country” uses imagery to describe the land after the breaking of a long drought. Of ragged mountain ranges possibly refers to the Mount Royal Ranges, and the Barrington Tops.

In later life, Dorothea Mackellar recalled how, after the rain, the grass began to shoot across the parched, cracked soil of the paddocks and, as she watched from the verandah, the land to the horizon turned green before her eyes.

A woman of independent means, she published poetry and other works between 1908 and 1926 and was active in the Sydney literary scene of the 1930s. Four volumes of her collected verse were published: The Closed Door (published in 1911, contained the first appearance of My Country); The Witch Maid, and Other Verses (1914); Dreamharbour (1923); and Fancy Dress (1926). In addition to writing poems, Mackellar also wrote novels, one by

herself, Outlaw’s Luck (1913), and at least two in collaboration with Ruth Bedford. These are The Little Blue Devil (1912) and Two’s Company (1914).


In the New Year’s Day Honours of 1968, Dorothea Mackellar was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for her contribution to Australian literature. She died two weeks later in Paddington, New South Wales after a fall. She is buried with her father and family in Waverley Cemetery overlooking the open ocean.

In an interview in 1967, Mackellar described her reasons for writing the poem: “Not really a special reason. But a friend was speaking to me about England. We had both recently come back from England and she was talking about Australia and what it didn’t have, compared to England. And I began talking about what it did have that England hadn’t, that you couldn’t expect to know the country to have. ‘Cause, of course, there are lots of wonderful things, especially in the older parts, but they’re not the same, and, of course, the people who came here first… I’m not blaming them for it. But it was so different to anything they’d known, they didn’t understand.”

The first stanza, lesser-known, refers to England, and the fact that the vast majority of Australians of that era were of British birth or ancestry. The second stanza describes Australia and is amongst the best-known pieces of Australian poetry. This cherished timeless poem speaks to the core of the Australian heart with its line “I love a sunburnt country”. The love of field and coppice, of green and shaded lanes. Of ordered woods and gardens is running in your veins, Strong love of grey-blue distance, brown streams and soft dim skies I know but cannot share it, my love is otherwise. I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains. I love her far horizons, I love her jewel-sea, Her beauty and her terror – the wide brown land for me! A stark white ring-barked forest, all tragic to the moon, The sapphire-misted mountains, the hot gold hush of noon. Green tangle of the brushes, where lithe lianas coil, And orchids deck the tree-tops, and ferns the warm dark soil. Core of my heart, my country! Her pitiless blue sky, When sick at heart, around us, we see the cattle die – But then the grey clouds gather, and we can bless again The drumming of an army, the steady, soaking rain. Core of my heart, my country! Land of the Rainbow Gold, For flood and fire and famine, she pays us back threefold – Over the thirsty paddocks, watch, after many days, The filmy veil of greenness that thickens as we gaze. An opal-hearted country, a wilful, lavish land – All you who have not loved her, you will not understand – Though earth holds many splendours, wherever I may die, I know to what brown country my homing thoughts will fly. JOKE A woman, cranky because her husband was late coming home again, decided to leave a note, saying, "I've had enough and have left you...don't bother coming after me" Then she hid under the bed to see his reaction. After a short while the husband comes home and she could hear him in the kitchen before he comes into the bedroom. She could see him walk towards the dresser and pick up the note... After a few minutes he wrote something on it before picking up the phone and calling someone... "She's finally gone...yeah I know, about bloody time, I'm coming to see you, put on that sexy french nightie. I love you...can't wait to see you...we'll do all the naughty things you like." He hung up, grabbed his keys and left. She heard the car drive off as she came out from under the bed. Seething with rage and with tears in her eyes she grabbed the note to see what he wrote..."I can see your feet. We're outta bread: be back in five minutes." Ray Heilman

Joke The Beach Was Too Sandy ... 1. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food." 2. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for my husband who just wanted to relax." 3. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish." 4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price." 5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room." 6. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow." 7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers in Puerto Vallarta to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned." 8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared." 9. "Although the brochure said that there was a fully equipped kitchen, there was no egg-slicer in the drawers." 10. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local convenience store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts." 11. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun." 12. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England. It took the Americans only three hours to get home. This seems unfair." 13. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom suite to our friends' three-bedroom and ours was significantly smaller." 14. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the resort.' We're trainee hairdressers and we think they knew and made us wait longer for service." 15. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there.The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners." 16. "We had to line up outside to catch the boat and there was no air-conditioning." 17. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."


18. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes." 19. "My fiancée and I requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that I became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked." BE AWARE ... THEY WALK AMONG US and THEY VOTE! John Toohey
