Where is this number plate from

[101RRS]

Sorry about the quality of the following pic - was lifted from the internet.

Does anyone know what State this number plate is from? The pic was taken in WA in 2006 but the vehicle may have been from Tassie.

Any guesses on the number - looks like L 2173 but the last two are obscured.

Thanks

The picture is not very clear but its probably WA licenced local to Leanora

Hi Garry,

Leonora L is the likely answer. Certainly since the 1950s local councils issued plates that were specific to their area. This is still done with both cities, municipalities and some smaller towns within their areas.

Someone from WA will no doubt give us the history.

Thanks for all the replies - I take it from the last link that the number plate would be post 1993.

The plate is from a pic of a Haflinger that I found on another forum and I believe it is the same Haflinger that I now own. Being in the goldfields in 2006 ties in with the history I have on the vehicle.

"A new series of local Shire plates was launched in 1993 ...."

This refers to the plates with a logo in the middle.

The one in your pic is not that series, so may or maynot predate 1993
