Old Car Grave Yard - Peak Hill NSW
Grey 57 - January 5th, 2005 at 08:34 PM

Just got back from 2 and a bit weeks in Qld. Travelled up and back by car and did a bit of VW spotting on the way. Didnt see too much VW stuff. Just a very wrecked split Kombi in a yard full of old stuff in Peak Hill about 30ks north of Parkes.

Saw a couple of other spitties in a yard on the northern side of Coonabarabran (sp) Small back windows so they were oldies.

Heres a few pic's of the yard in Peak Hill anyhoo.

Wrecked splittie

Did you go in the Ghia Dean??

Those out of the way country towns are full of wrecks of all kinds aren't they... pity you didn't see more VW

Na Jen didnt take the Ghia (would have been fun winding it up on the Newell H/Way thats for sure) took all the family up so went up in the family car.
There are so many little towns tucked away on that Hyway . Bound to be a few gems hidden away.

That splittie was there when I went up 2 years ago too. Hadnt moved, just rusted a bit more.

Jen its a long way for a cruise. 1 day there and 1 day back.

Could be a good weekend trip though ...... instead of doing a tour of celebs homes like they do in Hollywood, we could do a tour of VW graveyards ........
