A few shots from down the coast the other day got to flick into 4wd for only the second time in a year ( !), welcome to the great ocean road or at least the lesser ocean road which is the dirt track I sometimes take to my friends block of land down there. Heck I wish i could reduce the contrast on my camera a little - thats the aussie son for you, still that paints original and it's only slightly faded (does dust make a good sunsreen?).
she almost looks aggresive from this angle!

Great pics. I really like the scenery there. Dang, I really want to go to Australia one of these days, buy a 4x4 (maybe a terc?), and do some exploring. The ocean in the back ground looks nice and warm. Unlike the very cold pacific we have here in western Canada.

Hey DCN, love to let you have a go as well , although our car cleaning products are totally diferent than you have in North America. we don't get seafoam either. Water restrictions currently mean we can't use any sort of hose on our cars currently!
GTS- the shots are a bit deceptive, although prob warmer than north pacific, water temp in the southern ocean ranges from 12 degrees to a max of 16 so I still paddled out for a surf later that day in a full wetsuit and booties. I heard you guys just got a cold snap - these shots would look pretty temping I'm sure! You could pick yourself up a really nice Tercel for about $800 US with (wait for it) absolutly no rust! wheb you get over here!
Arch - that's a CB arial mounting spot from a former owner, which is weird is that this car was first bought and sold in the city. If someone needs one, I'm happy to send it over to them as I go cellular these days.
Cheers guys
