Grouse pic's guys, some would look good on the wall.
Out of all these cars, are there any good guards, doors etc, or are they mostly cactus? Who owns the yard?

i reccon if ya look hard enough you would find some repairable stuff
a old bloke owns it hes been collecting the cars/trucks /tractors
4 ever and he pretty much knows where everything is aswell
hes older than dirt

but a nice guy a bit of respect goes a long way
hes had trouble with people raiding the place at night and even setting the paddocks on fire
the thing that spun me out most when i heard that some one has been pissin in his ear and wants to list the parts on ebay 4 him:(
heres some more pics not HOLDEN but still some good old wrecks
cheers dave

do you have to organise with him prior to going there, i'm thinking of going for a drive i luv places like that, just wandering around looking
the valigma is wrong with it's parents being related shouldn't it have extra wheels

Wow, that place looks amazing, almost surreal especially with the grass so green!
I'd love to wander around a place like that for a morning or so.
Does anyone know of a place like that somewhere in QLD?
Cheers

Great pictures guys looks like the place has a bit of character about it.
It got me thinking if you guys over in S.A. ever host a nationals over in that region it would make for a good Saturday cruise for a look about.

All I can say is wow

so many FB/EK one trip is nowhere near enough, too much to take in. An absolutely awesome place can't wait to go back. For those of you playing at home I am the "super hero" infront of the valiant, I always like to put a face to the name so there you go.
Thanks again to Stingray for taking me in the wagon, it made the trip so much better, gotta love that idle still puts a smile on my face

My mate's Dad is friend's with the bloke that owns this yard apparently his name is Dudly and it is his 70th birthday this year. The sad thing about this is really they are all stuffed. When I quizzed him on it he said that 90%of these cars were driven in here. Also there was another bloke there who said he was there 20 years ago and said the exact same cars are sitting in the exact same spot. The only difference was 20 years ago they were salvagable. As Dudly said "you can't keep 'em all under cover" so so true.
That stuff on the crossbreeds would have to be the funniest posts I have read on here so far, the mental picture is hilarious.
Looking forward to the next meeting
