Morning Al, do you happen to know where this shot was taken? Does any one else?

Thanks
ET.

Found it for you ET.
Woolamai Beach Phillip Island.

You'll have to make do with the Kombi for a surf car.
Car park and cliff tops significantly different shape from when the original photo was taken 50 odd years ago.
I couldn't get the same angle, and wind was so wild I was getting sand blasted the whole time.


The building and tower must be earlier versions of the lifesaving club.
The original was either taken about 100m behind where I am standing, or the old building may have been near the sign near the Kombi.


Wild day down here.

Yeah mate,my mate had one years ago,like most models back then they where a 318 in the V8,geez it went great 5 boys and 5 boards on the roof was no trouble haulin us around
They had the 245 slant 6"i think" and the 265,they where all good size 6's to

Made in South Aussie ..the slant 6 was all the go in stock cars ...we grew up with an AP 5 push button auto ..great cars for their time .

A mates old man had a pretty late model Valbury Regal - one of the last of prods from a dealership floor , this thing was pretty Luxe , full leather , radio cassette , under the dash air , chrome everything ( Bulletti Overhead Hipster Compartments were years away , not yet a wad of sprog in a pair of Generation W's grundies even!!!!) had the push button auto on the floor , plastic still on the doors , 340 was a cracker this thing flew , executive jet

haha,Mick,I had a similar thing.Used to go to my mates grandmothers place as a kid,they had an old FC Holden station wagon in the driveway at the back,we used to pretend to drive it to
