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

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.
