April 2012 – NatMeet

Early April of 2012 saw NatMeet, the national gathering of Australia’s Mazda MX5 Clubs, head to Canberra. The tenth NatMeet to have been held, it ran from April 6th till April 10th. Here are some highlights as noted by some of the participants of the event:

• • The rolling plains around Texas

  • The small and remote towns around the Queensland – New South Wales border

  • Six beautifully manicured MX-5s having to travel over a road under repair but our bad luck mean we had to follow the water truck on the dirt / gravel road.

  • Hasty pressure clean in Tamworth to correct the situation caused above.

  • The scenic Hunter Valley

  • Beautiful late afternoon sunset /drive from Tamworth to Musswellbrook.

  • Excellent dinner in the Musswellbrook RSL

  • The amazing drive along the Bylong Valley Way – One of Australia’s Best
