This morning we were off to Nungarin to have a look at another museum, this one was a cracker plus they gave us a huge feed of bacon&eggs, snags, baked beans and toast - no lunch required today !!!
I was riding shotgun with Lindsay in his ute - the Chev stayed at the caravan park

Lindsay’s father worked in this shed when it was an active Army workshop - it’s a beautiful old shed

Thanks for posting. Looks like a great weekend, well mostly. That shed looks like heaven. Smooth dash in the McCann ute gets me. Very early one.

You’ve left us guessing why the Chev needed a trailer……

Like Brian said, run out of tyres as simple as that mate - can’t buy any on a Sunday so this was the easiest option
