Vale Country Buggy Bill Moore
With great sadness I announce the passing of Bill Moore, better known as Country Buggy Bill who single handed brought the country buggy story and
history to the world ,not only was Bill involved in historical aspects of VW in Australia but a active member who helped run and organise VW events
dating back to the very first VW nationals all those years ago. Bill was a great mate who will be remembered and treasured by many in the VW
community, a service will be announced shortly Bill leaves behind his wife Shirley and daughter Allison and grandchildren. aged 64 may you rest in
peace Bill,
Anyone seeking more information please call Stephen Muller 0400356057

That's very sad news Steve. Bill was a good friend.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

Bill was a wealth of knowledge when it came to CBs. I've had many conversations with him over the years, even sought his approval when I built the
first rat CB back in '05 (he loved it  )
He really has had a huge part in preserving the history of the marque in Australia, and he will be very sadly missed.
RIP Bill

for letting the community know of Bills passing

It is sad news in the CB world that we lost Bill Moore (country buggy Bill) to cancer yesterday. You will be missed Bill not only for all your help to
others in the VW world but as a good friend. I'll miss our chats.

We will miss Bill, that's for sure.
This is one I took at the 'Salt'. Bill in the blue shirt, Steve and Adrian Muller, on the left :-
