A Great American Car Company

WWII jeep rainforest trip

A weekend trip over the 17th and 18th November 2007 by the Military Jeep Club of Queensland through some of the temperate rainforests and forests of northern New South Wales, Australia.

Six vehicles came along, all World War Two vintage. They were:
3 Ford GPW jeeps
2 Willys MB jeeps
1 Dodge WC-52 Weapons Carrier

We met at the clubhouse at 6:30am on a rainy Saturday morning. The rain didn’t clear up until we we had done about 50 or 60 miles. After that it was overcast but still quite warm. We camped overnight in a public camping ground and toured some more forests and national parks on the Sunday before returning home.

This footage was taken with two different cameras – a camcorder and a digital still camera in movie mode. Hence the drop in picture and sound quality here and there. I also compressed it a lot to fit within YouTube’s upload limitations.
