As fellow members of the LROS arrive for the evening...

One of the team leaders, Tim & Yvette arrived in style whilst they had to play the role of sweeper.

First Overland Golden Anniversary Celebration (2)

More and more LRs were arriving now that the 2 convoys had merged. The carpark was packed full to the brim with trucks!

First Overland Golden Anniversary Celebration (2)

The pride, excitement and joy of seeing so many LRs gather for that one single evening is amazing!

There were so many people here that we've not met before and it was a good chance to interact and make new friends! ;P

Gary, our very hardworking OIC listening intently to his speech.

Oh well, OICs do need to take a break or two in between "work" right? As Gary lets loose! :P

The group settling down for the screening of the First Overland documentary.

First Overland Golden Anniversary Celebration (2)

Watching the documentary only makes us more in awe of the courage and sheer determination that the original team members had when they embarked on this incredible trip.

First Overland Golden Anniversary Celebration (2)

Looks like we're not the only ones in amazement huh? :P Everyone seems to be concentrating very hard during the screening.

First Overland Golden Anniversary Celebration (2)

Another moment to cherish as the 5 surviving members of the original expedition gather for a group photo against a Series I, their vehicle of choice during the trip 50 years ago.

First Overland Golden Anniversary Celebration (2)

A view of the Series I. ;) Trusty little fella huh?

First Overland Golden Anniversary Celebration (2)

During the evening, we met up with friends whom we've not met for a long long time. Here's Josephine and her daughter, Mei-mei. Gosh, she has grown so much and is such an adorable little girl. :) And to the group, it was great meeting all of you and we hope to see you again during the next LROS outing!! To the organisers once again, thank you so very much for making this day a memorable one! :D
