    I found the above website.
    It is saying Easter 2015.
    Hope that helps
    Had a look at heir site and turns out I was at their first van nationals at Mildura in 1976. I have a pic of the Best Van for that year, a 1976 XB "Miss Misty Blue", somewhere, I'll see if I can find it. Could be a good enough excuse to go to this event...if my van is finished by then!

    Miss Misty Blues, was (and I think still is) Owned by Greg Tarte. A fantastic Falcon van indeed that one.

    Finally got around to going through some old photos. Found these pics of Miss Misty Blue (sadly not a Sandman) from the first Van Nationals in Mildura, 1976.

    The first nationals was 1982. Previous to that they were called Van-Ins. Many of which were in Mildura, Victoria.
    The whole 40 years thing is based on organised national van meets. Apparently Greg still owns "Miss Misty Blues".
    Although in vanning stories a thing of legend.
