Love that twin mower set up..
It was pretty cool. All summer I ran around with the fire unit set up, so the tank in the back, generally 3/4 full with the Honda pump in there too. Then whilst we were spraying, I would run around for a couple of weeks with the boom spray bolted to the bull bar as well.
And dont forget, I had a normal day job as well, so always driving 30 odd K to work every day fully set up.
I did get some strange looks though when the boom was on ;)
some oldies

By the way, yes your instincts were correct, that's Birdsville Hotel (BT, before tourism, about 1966).

Some more. I love the 'having a beer in the street' photo - a herd in the main road causing a traffic jam? We just don't see that anymore - it must happen at night, cause I certainly see a lot of BS around.

This is an evocative pic -the LR ute would be almost new condition in 1958. And to get around there in the rain.. those were the days.
