Elizabeth lookout, Glenbrook about 1961, looking over Penrith/EmuPlains, that is all houses now, & the lookout is no longer accessable by vehicle
& somewhere in the bush in Blue Mountains early 1965, note Grey 1956 rear guards & lights, original guards had rusted out, this was just before VW was traded on a new Mazda
I have never seen another roof rack exactly like ours

could be Hawkesbury lookout, I agree, twas written on it Glenbrook lookout, just up from where we lived, but that was probably wrong, see black semaphore, maybe I had already busted an original

I think some of the early ovals had black semaphores...
I miss the mountains, if i ever have the misfortune of having to move back to sydney, the springwood is where i will live...

I have enearthed a stack of b/w photos of the car from 1955/1956, I will check what colour the semaphores were then

Great pics Kim - nice little archive collection. I don't think it's the Hawkesbury lookout - looks too low.

thanks, the wonderful thing is that these days pictures can now go around the world for sharing, & thus will survive, previously, over a few generations most were lost forever
Hawkesbury Lookout was lowere back then, it was a long time ago, & it is now at Wimalee, which did not exist back then, I will have to go up to both lookouts to try & determine
