RRCV members need to do a 5 minute survey about your vehicle's modifications.  The survey has been set up by FWDV and will collect data to support the activities of a Working Group looking at vehicle modifications and possible Government Legislation. This is important work - please read Michael Coldham's explanation below, then follow the link to complete the survey. 

The Mansfield Shire Council has closed the Mt Skene road - see the email below from Michael Coldham about this and the action FWDV are taking.

Below is the FWDV Rural Response Group newsletter released on 8 July.  It includes a summary of RRG activities and reports from some of the clubs involved.

On Monday, 31 May 2010, a group of dedicated heritage Land Rover owners and their supporters will set out from Bourke on a leisurely 9-day tour of the Australian Outback.

2009 is the 30th Anniversary of the RRCV's first French Line crossing of the Simpson Desert.  Michael Richmond is eminently qualified to run a trip to celebrate... he was after all, on that first trip.  Yes, he was a bit younger and he let Dad do most of the driving - but he was there nonetheless!

FWDV is seeking to recruit a Training Manager and have asked us to circulate the position description attached to this page.
