Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

An interesting Memorial to the quest for Speed on Water in WA.
At DUMBLEYUNG COMMUNITY CENTRE: "One Man and his Dream."

Launceston area 1966 from Tasmanian film clips:

King Charles and Prince Phillip, back in Time.

Not wood or Australian but interesting and neat.

If an unusual location for Boating has popped up ,it has probably been in the USA:
World Fair Seattle 1962.

Not in a Boat, interesting concept though.

Green trim was fairly standard it appears.

When restoring your Lewis it's hard to go past the original colours and timber selections. This pic shows a totally unmolested Frank Lewis finish that could be used as a guide for a Restorer. ( This was one of the late Clem Kings Lewis fleet )

Not sure if this has been posted here before. I have put the link on a District History Site sometime ago.

The film from the 9 minute mark relates to Albert Park. The rest is Gippsland history.
