Need for feed hay run to East Gippsland 2018

Some of the TTRC trucks joined up with the HCVC mob and did a Lions Club Need for Feed hay run to East Gippsland. Weather conditions were very ordinary (rain, sleet, wind, freezing) when we took these photos at Longwarry and Moe on the morning of Saturday, September 15 2018, however the weather conditions made for some very atmospheric photos.  Not all the trucks are featured here, unfortunately, the photos were a bit out of focus. The convoy started at the service station at Longwarry, had lunch in Sale and stayed overnight at Bruthen. Congratulations to the organisers and the Club members (and others) involved.
