A handful of pics from the trip. Some more interesting ones to follow! These pics cover the posts "To Southern Cross" & "To Kalgoorlie".

Rabbit Proof Fence Small section of the 3000km fence.

Sunset Trees

Bark Detail on the bark. Love that texture!

Warning Me letting my car know what will happen if it misbehaves

First step I like that there are two doors with that drop!

Red Road These are the sorts of roads I like to travel. It's the Road to Lake Ballard, which will be the subject of my next picture post.

Man! That pic with the vintage cars rotting away... I'd love to stumble onto a place like that. I'd go get a flatbed trailer and truck off all happy about the score! People out here make decent money finding places like that and selling the cars at swap meets. Any idea what they are? Im guessing late 1930s at least.

Dunno, I'll chuck up some other shots of them after I get the rest of the trip pics up.

You'd love Madura, lots of old cars :)

Yeah! I'd definately be investing in a flatbed trailer! If I could upload pics on here I'd upload a pic of the 1929 Dodge Bros I have. It was found in not much better shape than the cars in your photo there. The only thing was it had a rear axle and wheels and it had doors. Everything else was gone.
Though NOW it has a 1975 Camaro front subframe and a 1973 Pontiac setup for the rear suspension and the engine is from a 1961 Pontiac! (Plus Volkswagen interior, I never imagined how WELL it all fits together! This car is made for LONG drives... when it is done.)
There's a guy in Texas who had found a 1937 Ford and sold it for $6000 US on Ebay. HEH, you could always beef up your transmission and start bringing a flatbed trailer on your trips. You never know, you might find something so rare you could make a years profit from it.

I'm not a Holden person by any stretch of the imagination, but could the one at the front be an FJ (sans bonnet) and the one at the back be an FB?

That would make them 1950-1960 - prolly more than enough time to "rust in peace"

Please correct me if I'm wrong - I'm curious to know what they are too!

The one in the distance is definately late 1950s early 1960s. Since I'm in the US I'm not quite sure what they are, at least from the profile. The one closer that's missing the doors is definately late 1930s. It reminds me of the 1937 Chrysler I was building for my mom, only she was driving a coupe. Someone definately needed parts for theirs to have taken so many parts off of it. I just lust over those types of cars. 30s-70s, cars had personality then. I have a 1929 Dodge Bros and a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro (Basically Danny's car's big brother I think) with a meek 460 horsepower before the latest rebuild.
