Wow some really nice looking cars there and check out the size of the rims tied down on the bed.

Yes. I was too bedazzled by the cars to even look at those rims.

These cars must have been bought at Bayswater auction 8 - 9th September just gone.

Clay,

If you're at Port Augusta on Sunday week, or Ceduna on Monday week, you can photograph me too as I drive west.
Can't say that my car matches the finish of those three though . . .

It’s driven Rob, which a car should be. I’ll keep those dates in mind.

Good to see you are campaigning that very special EK215 Tim. Thevenard Pub if I’m not mistaken.

Of course. Getting off the beaten track a bit there Tim. The drive from streaky down to coffin bay is one of my favourites that I’ve done dozens of times. There are some seriously good surf spots along the way and plenty of open road in between.

Port Augusta to Ceduna on Monday week is a "short day" - 460 km via Kimba. But I'm really tempted not to turn right at the Eyre Highway, and instead go the long way down to Port Lincoln and up via Murphys Haystacks and Streaky Bay.

I did the trip in reverse last Thursday. Ceduna to Coffin Bay with a stop for a cuppa at Mount Hope mates. Job at Coffins took one hour. Fresh oysters and flathead for lunch. Through the ranges and up the east coast via Arno Bay, Cowell and Whyalla. Lambs fry and bacon for dinner at Ian’s Western front bar, Pt Augusta.

There are a few interesting routes cutting through pastoral country, mallee, swamp, cereal crops, karst topography and spectacular costal lookouts. The Birdseye highway runs from Cowell to Elliston and is named after the lady who started the local bus run. Horticulture was embarked on at Polda before the basin got sucked dry and there are plenty of Hairy nosed wombats at Mt Wedge.
