Where is this?

Stony Creek Bush Creek Caravan park must be the place my penpal Stephen from Port Augusta (we only corresponded by email, so does that make him a emailpal?) knew about. He said that none of them and no parts were for sale. He had an FJ Holden he had restored and that he loved. He was collecting parts for his LC3 Morris Commercial that he planned to restore when his health improved. I supplied a wheel and front bumper for him free of charge and Graham Johnson delivered them from Melbourne to Pt Augusta to his gate, also for no charge. Stephen no longer emails me or replies to my emails, so maybe his poor health has got the better of him.

Maybe I have this the wrong way around and PDU told me about the place and I told Stephen.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Indeed a possibility Morris, but I couldn't say for sure, failing brain cells no doubt . . . :unsure:

But when I asked about people looking for parts it was a definite, "Not really interested, they look okay where they are." :(

Rust in peace.

Could that be Pykes Creek Reservoir, on the old Western Highway?
Not been there for 60 + years, but rings a bell.

Old Hume Highway southbound from the bridge over the Goulburn River at Seymour?

Is this the location?

The curve in the road looks right but the bridge isn't really in the picture.

If you turn that photo 180 degrees there is Armco around a rather large tree very close to the road. Not sure the Armco would do much deflection if you hit it sitting on the dollar.
