Yes towns 3/4/5 are NSW. Town 2 is Vic, My Parents travelled the shows mainly Western Vic, New England and Southern / Western NSW / and Southern Qld around the Roma/Mitchell area, When I can find towns 1 and 2 and run them through the new scanner i might be able to see if it's Qld or Vic , I guess I won't die if I can't get names for them ......Town No 4 not Birdsville is it .....Cough

Doug

Doug, definitely not Birdsville - LOL. Ian is a Blackall boy and at first look Town 1 looked like Blackall until, like the other person, you realised the first building was too tall.
I like Dusty's new tractor.

Ruth
Did you notice there is not one 4x4 in those photo's,
I have found the slides and re-scanned them too except town 1 , I'll find that shortly

Doug, yes I did notice that. My family got our first LandRover about 1963- it was an old troopy with canvas back (LWB) and we loved it. Had the best gearbox - I learned to drive in it (up Double Island Point in the sand).
Remember, I bet your parents didn't have a 4WD - no one did that I can recall. The roads were goat tracks, particularly from Brisbane to the west and everyone had one of those wire netting screens that pulled down over the windscreen when someone was coming in the other direction.

Ruth
No my Dad never had a 4x4,my first one was a series II Landrover Wagon in 1967/8, Traded it in 1969 to a Cortina GT, the next was a 1994 Rocky in 1995 ,Anyhow keep an eye on my workings because now that I have 50mb of webspace I am going to do a like kinda memories/History webpage showing what what we got up to in the 40s and 50s and 60s , I should have it running by the weekend ,

Hey.......Ruuuthh
There will be no comments about the DORK on the bloody Tractor .......the little Tractor

Andrew
You could be right, I wouldn't know, of course the shops would not be main st type , rear parking , NSW ...ok, Narrandera would have been on their show run, and I too have been into and through near all major towns in the Eastern States , Albury - Wodonga was another place they went to but none of the photo's look familiar . I should have asked him when he was still breathing,

Doug

OOPS...not Kerang....meant Kaniva....Sorry, hav'n a senior moment

Graham
Hi ya mate
Everyone thinks Byron Bay because of the shop name, I don't the old man ever went there in the late 60s Thats his Austin there and I just right now am thinking Wentworth , that car he got in 1968 and I had the Cortina in 1969 and he did go to Wentworth show in 1969 , The buildings looks very westernised
I reackon T3 is a western NSW too, , Geez I'm nearly pulling hair over this ,

Just upgraded town2 photo. 4 is too big for Yass even by today Yass is not that big ;
Not Braidwood I reackon, what about Hay ???
