One small town that is very close to my heart is Lindenow. This quiet rural area produces a large portion of our countries vegetables and has some wonderful characters that are synonymous with the area. As you go through the main street of Lindenow you will see an anvil(blacksmiths shoe shaping tool) with an inscription "success forged on the anvil of time" placed on it (I think). This anvil was opened by my grandfather ,Charles Langford Treasure and remains an historic part of the town. Lindenow like many towns and citys around Australia has a service club, the Lions club is the service club in Lindenow and is very proactive in helping its community. Part of the fund raising is a field days that has grown to be one of the most respected field days on the country calendar. These field days are more than just a rural get together they draw over 5,000 people from a relatively small community and beyond, to showcase the best new products and equipment available to the rural region.
We decided to squeeze in this opportunity to showcase the Geist promo caravan at the field days with great success. We had a wonderful time showing the region something different to what the local Jayco dealer had to offer. The rural hospitality is always so warm, even if there was a mix up in the sites (thanks Liz). We weren't worried though, everyone found us that wanted to and the interest extended down to Melbourne with a few keen buyers venturing on to see us at the big show. Here are some photos (above) showing the stand and crowd. The Volkswagen Touareg and Viking Kayak were a great hit too! Those wanting to find out more about these products should go to Mossaro motors in Morwell or vikingkayak.com.au
