Nice find....
Reminds me of some of the stories my Dad told me about the trip he made in 1930 with his Dad and Mum travelling from Swan Hill to Perth in a Model T Ford. Some of the highlights were:
# No made roads
# No roads in some areas
# Getting stuck in mud, waiting a few days for help, no help comes, Grandad walks off in search of help (leaves Grandma and Dad alone), returns in a few days with an Afghan camel driver and camel herd
# Madura Pass too steep for the loaded Model T, unload all the gear, drive unloaded Model T up the pass, many trips on foot carrying gear up the pass.
Dad always wanted to do the trip again, went over to Dad and Mum's for Dad's birthday in May 2003 (his 79th), Mum says, "the silly old fool has brought himself a Model T Ford".
There aren't any surviving pics of the first trip, but here are some of the second trip.
Horrocks Pass in the background:
Madura Pass (old road, not as steep as in 1930)

Group pic (there was plenty of back-up in the two support vehicles):
Three generations of my family in this one, another beer to the poster that can identify them.
