Met these two cars at Innamincka a couple of years ago.Never got to talk to the drivers as a shower seemed more important at the time. Does anybody know anything about them? And I thought I was driving an old car. W.

It was last year (July 2011) I took that picture and not a couple of years ago! W.

Great photo... gotta love the polished metal tool chest on the back of the dark blue one. Come to think of it, many of those tracks were pioneered by blokes driving similar vehicles!

Great looking vehicles, no doubt a lot of nostalgia and fun.
Oddly we came across a couple of fellas travelling in (approx) a 1928 Chrysler Plymouth back in the early 1980's whilst at the Dig Tree, Innamincka. I have a pic or slide of it from memory!
They were covered in dust but looked to be having a fantastic time.



Cheers, Mick

Could it have been these, or is the timing wrong? Bob

BY AUSTIN 7 TO INNAMINCKA Page 1
When Australian Geographic issued invitatons for people to be at the opening of the restored Inland Mission Hospital, arriving in the most unorthodox or oldest method of transport they could devise, we couldn't resist. (One arrived by bicycle, one walked, one parachuted, and there were several other vintage vehicles, including a 1912 T Model)
The opening date was to be July 22, round about the time it's good to be out of Victoria, so we put out feelers for company on the trip, and were delighted that Jenny and Dennis McIlroy and Trish and Peter Laughton were free to come.

Looks like a 4cl Chev 27/28 and a similar vintage Chrysler, not fords but could have been the same convoy.
