Gentlemen: Get Ready to Start Your Engines

To Koroit or Not to Koroit. That is the Question.

This Australia Day weekend was to be Koroit (Truck Show).

But COVID said Koroit was not to be.

But Shirl said, “Koroit will be.”

And so Koroit is.

But it isn’t.

It isn’t a truck show but there will be quite a few trucks there because we got us a convoy. And who doesn’t like a convoy. We all need one – especially down here in Victoria where the lockdown was more severe than in other parts of the country.

So if you’ve nothing to do this coming Saturday, Jan 23 please come and join in at one of the following locations, or simply turn up at the Koroit showgrounds for a long overdue get-together, a drink or three, maybe a nosh at Mickey Bourke’s Pub and talk a lot of BS.

It’s also a chance to give back to a town that has welcomed us over the past decade and more.

BYO everything you may need.

Here is the Saturday route:

THE COVID CONVOY TO KOROIT

SATURDAY JANUARY 23

Covid Convoy to Koroit will be leaving these locations at approximately:

Officer BP 8.00 AM

Lovely Banks BP 9.30 AM

Colac McDonalds 11.00 AM

Camperdown BP 11.30 AM

Mortlake RH 12.15 AM

Warrnambool Saleyards from 1pm where everyone will regroup and head to Koroit for the final stop at 1. 30 PM

Then park around the town and footy oval, go to the pub or out for dinner at restaurants. As Shirl puts it: “We’ll have a good old catch up and a Gutter Party.”

The run is to support local businesses, have a feed and a chin wag. For any other information call Shirl McCosker on 0429 812 464

Here is a little of what Koroit has given us over the years…
