Outback Relics and Ruins

Perhaps you have a photo or two of interesting relics and ruins found during your outback and goldfield adventures.



This is a not too old relic that I'm sure will stir some memories....

Pitty the rims are damaged.
They would be worth a fortune otherwise.
Sure does bring back memories.

What a cool beast. A real chick magnet in its day.

Hey Charger.
What a car....... loved them......RT E37 six pack .....a true seventies icon.

Might have to give Ricks Restoration a call for a quote. lol.

Bit of a cut and polish.
No one would be able to tell the difference.

I used to own a VH Charger with 245 Hemi motor.
I still miss that beautiful beast.
Hey Charger!

My second company car was a mustard Charger. It was a heap of Sh1t. Leaked like a sieve. When it rained I had to roll up my trousers to the knee as the water sloshed from the back well to the front.
On my trip I had the boot loaded with cartons of paint including the back seat and the passenger side and floor. It was literally floating on air. Up Macquarie Pass, into Exeter, Moss Vale etc Bowral for a Cointer lunch and a couple of schooners. Ah, those were the days,NOT?
Mackka

Noooooooo. The bumpers are still good

It was a piece of S$&T.

Heres a couple of pics of a cube ship tank, used for all sorts of purposes ( mainly water storage) at an old ruin in outback SA. Next to it is a set of rear panels off of perhaps a Model T or the like.

AussieAu, is that in the Flinders?

Yeah Manpa, about 100 ks. North East of Quorn, late winter. :Y:

How many of those old tanks were built? They are scattered across the country from end to end. Mrs M collects the screw-on lids usually from London.



We picked up this old bucket near Sandstone WA. It looks like a cast iron bucket but is actually made from sheet steel nicely formed to look that way. Just another of Mrs M's additions to the boot

:Y: :Y:

Perhaps disheartened he left them... once his horse or camel had put their weight onto them accidentally. Probly Lasseter's own... and the reason he could never find that reef again....
