Dear Raiders/ Potential Raiders, this is to advise that bookings for Raid Australia 2020 are going well. We now have about 30 cars registered to come, and so there is still plenty of space left if you are thinking of coming.
The bush fires have been devastating in some parts of Australia, but these are not known to have affected any of the Raid route particularly and in any case, winter will come before the Raid and so some of the burnt areas will be regenerating by then.
The fires have not affected us city-dwellers very much, but I extend my sympathies to anyone who has lost property or who has friends or relatives that have lost property. I know some Raiders have been affected.
From my perspective, the guy who died fighting a fire on his own property in the Adelaide Hills in December was one of my best friends from high school days. That was rather sad.
Anyway, the Raid will go ahead regardless. Thanks to Greg Moorhouse for supplying the photo herewith.
Meanwhile I have started on making sure my Citroën Acadiane is RAID ready. New parts ordered from Europe. Some chassis repairs are needed. I enjoy this part of the Raid preparation. Ralph
why isn't the engine painted yellow?
Because I am a deutan, that is, red green vision challenged. As my European Raid friends, Andre and Anke, noted. “Ralph is a funny fellow. Everything he likes is yellow. Yellow this and yellow that. He even has a yellow hat.” Cat, mat, Acadiane, etc.” Cheeeeeers Ralph
I am back working on my Raid car also. I'm fitting a spare gearbox to see if it's any better than the one that was in the car.

Miss you grandad!
A well written eulogy he sounds like a special person
He certainly was a wonderful colourful character and we were all lucky to have known him
Rest in peace
I will miss this lovely man who I have had the pleasure to travel with on Raid Australia.
