Blinman 1998.

The Land Rover Register of South Australia presents The Blinman Land Rover Jamboree.

WHERE: Blinman in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia
WHEN: 15th - 18th of May 1998

In 1994 the Land Rover Register of South Australia held it's first Jamboree in the historic Flinders Ranges town of Blinman. It is now a major event attracting Land Rover enthusiasts, and dealers from as far away as Queensland and Tasmania with a turn-out of 70 vehicles last year.

With the Fiftieth Anniversary of Land Rover, the event will be even bigger and better in 1998. Held over the Adelaide Cup long weekend, starting on the Friday, there will be a variety of events held. Tag-a-long tours through the picturesque Flinders Ranges are run with the support of local land owners and enable everyone to see some of the scenery and old ruins unique to the Flinders. These will be running over the whole weekend. Driving trials are also held, on a section of land leased by the Register. These are run in a controlled environment enabling drivers to learn more about their vehicles and driving skills in a friendly competition environment. Special children's events are run so as to cater for all the family. Evening entertainment includes a street party with live entertainment and a presentation dinner.
