    Blackbutt to Melbourne and back.

    On monday 29 aug we will be driving our 60yr old Austin A90 Atlantic to Albury then to Melbourne a week later then . Will be going via Dalby, Goondiwindi, Dubbo, Wellington, Junee, Albury. On the way home on 12th Sept we will be going Melbourne, Tocumwall, Dubbo, Goondiwindi, Dalby, Blackbutt. So if you want to have a chat if we are in your village, please do. If, heaven forbid, we are stopped in the middle of nowhere, please stop and see if we need a hand. If we overtake you, it will mean you are driving too slow. It only did 95mph when new. Hopefully photos are attached.

    We are back. 4280kms, no major problems, just a broken bolt on the generator, had a spare in the tool box. Not bad for a 60yr old car.

    Good for you, I bet you turned a few heads, Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    A few photos of the cars. !3 cars in total, parked in the Police Paddock at Beechworth, Vic. It was cold and wet too, thats why the convertibles had the hoods up. A rare sight.
