FYI Oberon's Steam and Vintage Fair is on this weekend. I think Saturday is the main day if anyone is interested in taking some vintage shots. I'll be tanking, but should get the odd opportunity to sneak a few shots myself.

Love the Rusted Chev, Al. Looks like a good day.

Meanwhile, I saw this in a marshaling yard a few kilometres away from home and looks like an old 'specialised' engine. (If anyone can tell me more about it)

And a vintage phone booth being used as a dunny in a paddock at the base of the Black Bluff Summit track in North-West Tasmania.
(Either that or the Tardis' chameleon circuit has finally started working - - badly, but working.)

Here's some of my John Wests from the vintage fair today. I guess with a theme like "vintage" monochrome, sepia and colour splash images are bound to be popular...

1. 1942 Matilda Tank as modified by Nixon Engineering in Wagga after WWII.
2. Hey, Mack.
3. I should've paid more attention to what this tractor was...
4. A Roller (one of a few at the vintage fair)
5. American Pie.

Al.

We were visiting the Barossa Valley last September, when we saw lots of vintage cars driving through Lyndoch. This was one of them.

The last Tasmanian Passenger train - The Tas Ltd. at the 'Don Railway Station' Sadly this ceased running just before I arrived in Tasmania in 1980. I believe it was an 18 hour trip from Devonport to Hobart which is 380 Road Kilometres :-)
This is at the Don River Train Museum.

Astronobob, I was thinking along the same lines when I saw this Small & Shattell - Melb. oven in a local cafe going to waste as a decorative shelf.

Some information about my pic of Carcory Homestead.
I really felt for the people who had lived in this desolate place
it must have been a very hard life in those days.

I've decided to change my entry so the Morris Oxford becomes a "John West". I also tossed up entering this restoration of the Stinson as an entry.
