Bamboo Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Posted November 5, 2010 Spent the unofficial Melbourne cup long weekend in gippsland. Drinking way too much, water skiing in a mate V8 boat and crossing rivers that no 'rolla could cross after the recent rain! Also got my centre road wreckers roof racks on. 9 bucks each. Off a mitsubishi van. As much as I love the 'rolla, this is the car to see Australia in! Quote
abbott Posted November 22, 2010 Report Posted November 22, 2010 and that is why i will own nothing but toyotas both the best cars for the city and the best cars for the middle of woop woop! Quote
Bamboo Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Posted December 18, 2010 So I got a week off before Xmas and went camping in the Victorian High Country. Spent seven nights without ever going to a town. No phones, computers, news or tv. Pure bliss. I took two books, the saturday paper and loads of food and grog. Went to three spots and just chilled out. 1 Quote
altezzaclub Posted December 18, 2010 Report Posted December 18, 2010 Love it! Especially the last three photos! Real living! You need a metal detector for gold nuggets! Quote
Bamboo Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Posted December 18, 2010 Love it! Especially the last three photos! Real living! You need a metal detector for gold nuggets! Thanks for the comment. The last three were from an old gold mining town, "winchester". Closest spot on a map will be Talbotville, another old gold town. Threw another photo in for you, shot from the river. Was by far the best spot. Quote
Bamboo Posted March 11, 2011 Author Report Posted March 11, 2011 Went camping last weekend with my brother. Got on the cans and thought it'd be a good idea to ride the postie. Quote
parrot Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 A mate of mine collects those bikes. He has a collection going back to the 50's. More than 10 in all. Including 'rally pack' kits and all. They are seriously cool. He also has two AE86's two US Mustangs, a Valiant Chargerand a town and country Valiant Ute etc etc. Plus a factory to keep them all in including hoist and a mezzanine to store all his parts and stuff. And a fridge. Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 Loving the photo's and the vid, all looks like great fun. And you mate sux Parrot (I want a factory and more cars!) :lol: Quote

carbonboy Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 Spent seven nights without ever going to a town. No phones, computers, news or tv. Pure bliss. Amen to that! :yes: Awesome journey by the sounds of things, definitely the right vehicle choice. :) One of my most peaceful moments was doing a 3 day solo hike along the Lerderderg River. Nothing electronic, everything I had was in/on my backpack & no people. :wink: Damn, this makes me want to go bush again :lol: Quote
carbonboy Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Nothing beats a bit of Dutch courage! I did carry two hip flasks with me, one of tequila & the other of scotch :wink: Quote
TOMsGPTurbo Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 Great photos - thanks for sharing! My wife and I want to do the same trip, and same setup (bed inside the back) - the video :lolcry: lol what a classic! I can't believe the bike started up with no problems! Quote
Bamboo Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 All was going well last sunday until I lost momentum going up hill, slid backwards and we turned over. No injuries, so in the end, it is only a car. People are much harder to replace. Bamboo - now coming with space in the driveway. Quote
