A Rally that put lots of greatnew spins on how a "Bush Council Rally" can be run. Entrants were delighted to say it was ‘a great rally’, ‘the best’ and ‘what a lot of work you did to offer so
many rally options.‘ Many rallyists had never been to Griffith before and were amazed at the insights into Griffith the Rally gave them, from wine making to theatre curtain design and assembly, from 
'The Handyman Rally', another innovation that had the guys’ eyes out on stalks, to the Rocking Horse Museum. Carefully devised self-drive tours and amazing local food were often cheerfully mentioned.
