The Series I Australian Historic Picture Project

I have quite a few good ones of the one in my sig,but not in Aus during those particular years.

Can i sneak a couple in?

Or maybe we could have another thread for not in Aus pics of S1's?

Any Series 1 pics from anywhere, from any era are welcome.

I can see that. Although any S1 pics are good, the intent is for the historical ones from the (any) early years. [thumbsupbig]

This picture was taken by me at our survey camp at Doongmabulla homestead near Lake Galilee in central Queensland. The ex SMHEA Series 1 is to the left, and at far right is another crew member's Jeep.

The same Series 1, nose only, at the Carmichael River crossing not far from there. I bought this Series 1 in Sydney in 1962 after my VW decided it did not like the dust of CQ. Kept it for a bit over a year, during which time I did an engine overhaul. Then traded it on a Series 2, also ex-SMHEA.

Another picture of it, this time in the Glasshouse Mountains.

There are a few pictures at the State Library of Victoria.

There must be others filed away in archives around the country.
