I do not think these went that far but they wouldn't of hesitated to head off to Melbourne or Sydney from Berrigan Just think if like today 43 degrees , a water bag hanging on the side and then winter time, mud, no heater , only thing that keep them going was they didn't know any better and mate ship on the road : : : :

I love the homemade mudguards on the old Ford. I'm also a big fan of the swan on the bonnet(called a bugler) I run them on my trucks.

Another old Ford from the disposal in Darwin, as was said, many started with not much more than perseverance and luck.
