Overlander's old Photos

Paul re the load of hay sometimes stacked it like that with the different width/depth of the bales you would get more interlocking between layers but by the look of that hay/stubble it either needed to be baled a lot tighter or when there was a bit of dew on it in saying that cereal hay is slippery $#!t to cart

Greetings. Had a download with Nev yesterday returning photo albums and borrowing 2 more of Australian trucks and one from one of his safaris to USA. Also uncovered some forgotten about instamatics & SLR photos so when i get to the end of album 5 photos I'll process them before easing into album 6. Enjoy, Pete

The RoadBoss is a smart looking truck

Merry Christmas to all and I hope you all get the gift of good health. Pete

A good mix in there Pete, thank you to you, Paul and Nev and anyone else I have missed in sharing these wonderful photos with us

Werhorse started posting these historic snaps some years ago. Thanks for that.

Awesome pics, as always! Love them..
The only bad part is, that as a photographer back in the day, everyone would have taken pics of good looking, big trucks, the flasher the better.
Which meant old bangers like mine never got a photo becuase they were old bombs,and they looked like worn out dirty old workhorses.
And you wouldn't waste a pic in those days, they were epensive after all, dammit!
Sigh.
Cheers!

Prodrive, you are correct saying taking photos back when I stated taking them was a costly hobby being that I only earnt a few bob doing seasonal work during the school holidays and searching the bins in Nuri main street for Coke bottles to cash in. Then when I started work after finishing school a whole new world opened up and yeah I did get a bit pickie. Plus operators started moving with the times with more choices available and the horsepower increased and so on and so forth. Commer knockers & Butterboxes didn't get a look in. Here's one from '72 I'd reckon. Pete

The #10 KW would have been Bell Bros
