Wreck Of The Week

by Robbo on 10/03/2010

As cars break down and can’t be repaired by our Bush Mechanics they are left by the side of the road where they are quickly pulled apart for spares.

Every now and then a bulldozer or grader comes along and pushes them, along with other roadside debri back into the scrub.

Wreck Of The Week

by Robbo on 03/03/2010

We have a guest post today from Wolf Cocklin. Wolf’s the bloke I took the idea from for putting a few of my driving videos up on the web.

This picture is from his 2009 trip along one of Australia’s most famous routes, the Oodnadatta Track. As well as today’s Wreck Of The Week picture Wolf also has a blog post up of this trip at his blog “Insert Clever Title Here” which includes video of the 166km trip condensed into 6 minutes.

Wreck of the Week

And who said it wouldn’t last! Welcome to my seventh Wreck of the Week.

Late at night in a very remote part of Australia, a camel shooter’s ute either stationary or moving slowly down the road and another car coming up from behind.

The bend in the chassis, bending the whole rear tray is pretty impressive.

Yep – this is the car that ran up the ute’s bum.

I love how the heavy duty Hi-Lift (Kangaroo) jack is bent like paper.

Wreck Of The Week

by Robbo on 17/02/2010

Who would have thought pictures of broken down old wrecks would attract so much interest.

Today I even have a guest poster, Bill Arnold a pharmacist from Canberra with a few pics he took on the Oodnadatta Track in 2005.

“2005, The track from Arckaringa (Painted Desert) to the Oodnadatta Track. Called the Moon Plain or some such. I think it is an Armstrong Sidley (British). ”

Can anyone confrm this?
