Mmmmmmmm, look at those fins! 8)

I think the hiring of the taxi for weddings was quite common in small country towns. My mother-in-laws' brother still lives in Waimati in NZ and is restoring the family Zephyr that was the towns taxi/bridal car for years.

Love the obligatory 'elbows-out-the-window' in the photo of the traffic too.

Cold air gushing from a blowhole on the surface of the Nullarbor
Caption reads. "There are many of these blowholes. Stamping on the ground in their vicinity frequently gives off a hollow sound which indicates the cavernous nature of the strata below."

There heaps of caves along the Nullarbor - a couple of mates and I went into a few of them years ago.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
