Geez look at em all shame most of em ended up as pet food cans

Oh wow, just managed to attach my first photo on Seabreeze!

And it's a goody if not the right way round?

Saw it in a barn in northern Vicki last weekend, true.

Geez the old girl looks pretty straight from the front too , shed's kept the sun out of it

What can I saw . If this is rocking the suspensions probably shot.

How odd it that, there's probably 100 cars on that beach, I can easily see that none of the first 40 are 4WDs, and there's a good chance that none of the others are either.

The pic looks to be around 1970

What percentage, do you reckon would be 2WDs if that pic was taken today

I think it looks like Boat Harbour, north of Cronulla. Though I could be wrong.... The road entrance was almost next to the Kurnell Oil refinery. From memory, there was a hard packed track down to the rocky section of the beach at the northern end. It was turned into a 4WD park sometime in the mid 80s I think. Last time I went in my Landy about 30 years ago, you didn't need 4WD, but I think they probably had to limit it to 4WD due to the fact most of the more modern cars weren't nearly as adept at getting through sand as the ones shown. That pic looks like mid 1970s.

Used to go there on my dirt bike as well, can still taste the sand

That's a bloody beauty pic Nozz,you can see that Holden had the market sewn up back then.I'm surprised they got that far on the beach without getting bogged.I can see a brown HT Holden in the foreground which is a late 69 early 70 model and it doesn't look brand new,I'de say the pic is circa 1973

Wife had actually opened the book and got past the front cover.
These two inside are captioned "Long Beach, c. 1970", but I agree with Al, would seem to be a couple of years later.



Top one looks like the same photo.
Unless that person with the sun umbrella went there a lot.
I went down at the north end of the beach today - certainly wasn't venturing far in the 2wd Kombi with no one around.




Maybe people were braver in the olden days....

Long Beach just north of Robe, South Australia - over here for a week at the moment.
Photo is front inner cover in a book at the apartment we are in - "The Story of Robe"

This is me standing corrected Nozza, but bluddy hell, it looks a lot like Boat Harbour.... Those were the days eh, drive on to the beach, hang out for the day and just chill with your mates.... looks like it was a great place to be.

Saw this classic this morning.
