| As mentioned in our introduction to Sponsors, a work like this is not just for 'the people', it's also by 'the people' - for without the legacy which they leave behind after every show, year after year, none of this would exist. | |
 This legacy comes in three parts - photographs they have taken, reports or accounts they have written, and the raw data of their memories which have captured the essence of their own experience. Project 30 has striven to draw upon these resources to broaden the scope of our work and thus produce the most complete encapulation of Corowa's thirty years as possible. |
|
| In order to honour their contributions in the same fashion as they have honoured us by offering them, we will use this section of the website to acknowledge them publicly. This section will be divided into two parts: Private Individuals who have freely given of their time and resources to ensure their own recollections are recorded for posterity; and Military Vehicle Clubs which have supported us by making available photographs and event reports. We thank them all. |
|
| If you feel you or your club has something to contribute to our endeavour, please contact Jan Thompson through our Contact Us link on the right and she will make arrangements to sit down with you and discuss our requirements. Should you wish to be recognised, it will be done, but there's no obligation and you may remain anonymous if you prefer. Thank you for your consideration! | |
| PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS | |

 The Army Museum Bandiana was originally established in 1972 as the Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps Museum. With the integration of the collections from RAEME, RACT, RAAMC, RAADC, RAAChD and AACC, the Museum has become the largest and most diversified Army Museum in the country. Having a fleet of over 150 vehicles, over 50 artillery pieces and hundreds of small arms displayed in conjunction with specific Corps collections, it continually amazes visitors not only from within Australia, but from overseas as well. The Museum prides itself on the many unique elements within its collection and the quality of their preservation and conservation. The Army Museum Bandiana supports civilian initiatives such as Corowa in their endeavour to preserve and promote Australian military history.

Andrew McIntosh displays his truly unique, custom-built 1942 Chev C-30 Blitz. This vehicle first came into his family in 1971, was stripped and rebuilt/reengined several times before finally being sold; in 1996, Andrew bought it back and produced what you see here from what was left; 'tis a work of art! |
