G'day All,
We've just returned home from a 10-day road test of a non-vintage caravan. Thought I'd throw up some of the more interesting photos we took during the trip. We based ourselves at Tamworth NSW (home of the "Golden Guitar" and the Country Music Capital of Australia), and then went daytripping within 200kms each day.
Some of the vintage vans sighted around the traps...
I don't know whether the van was advertising the Hilton, or the van itself was considered to be the Hilton.
The name "Morrison" doesn't come up in a search of the forum...
A mid-60s Valiant, wasting away on a farm...
Another oldie wasting away in a front yard...
A Sunliner (? can't be too sure these days
)...
Some other photos...
I thought I'd discovered the entrance gate to reddo's country retreat, about 10k south of Tamworth, but then I realised the bikes weren't old enough, and were the wrong brand anyway ...
I don't see too many of the old mile markers around these days, but this one is on the old Tamworth - Nundle road, near Chaffey Dam. This old road is actually partly buried under the dam wall...
A nice bit of craftwork using old corrugated iron...
This sign for a footbridge caught my eye...
A nice old house to go with your nice old vintage van...
...and around the corner at the church, you can get a genuine original outback dunny to go with the house...
Part of the redundant NSW railway system...
And finally, a rock having trouble deciding which way to fall...
Hope you enjoyed them.
cheers,
Al.
