Albany weekend

Post by Blacky »

It’s that time of year, the WA Queens birthday weekend club cruise, this year it’s Albany’s turn again ImageImage
We left home and drove down to the Crooked Carrot cafe and met up with Allen and Lyn from Australind near Bunbury

Had a cuppa and we’re off again - next stop Manjimup for lunch

Got to love a Studebaker truck, looks a 1950 model.

I picked this one up for my brother 3 years ago, Rare as its factory right hand drive.
