For those with poor eyesight, you may need to click on the images, open them in Photobucket, enlarge them there, then read them.

Might be a road trip coming up on the first weekend of October.

Have been there and seen the collection. All the cars are in the old Holden Dealer showroom/workshop in the main street. Shame to see them scattered. All nicely restored or original too.

I visited that museum about 4 or 5 years ago, and met Charlie. A shame the collection will be broken up and scattered.
