Day 23
Today is to be a quiet day as the only official request was that we
display the cars in QEll square in central Albury. We have been asked to arrive around 10 am and leave
sometime after 2pm. Informal tours of the Albury Art Gallery and the main city library where
available or a self guided tour of the highlights around the city centre.

| Display in the park |
Our first task was to
remove the Centenary Banner from the Motel entrance and re-erect it somewhere
in the square, we found a suitable spot between a couple of pylons at the front
of the gardens.

Next task, find somewhere to park the modern, this took a while
as most parking close to the square is limited in time, although still free.
Eventually found a multi story carpark a couple of blocks behind the square. Then, a cup of tea before a guided tour of the Art Gallery.
The ladies then went shopping whilst Alan, Mike and myself sought out the local Antique fair to see what was on offer. A huge array of furntiture, glassware, ornaments and other bric-a brac was available for sale along with several cars. The cars ranged from a modern land rover to a Wolseley 4/40 and an Austin 7 racing car, 20 years ago I think the racing car would have bee tempting but my tastes have changed.
