How many miles per gallon do those carts do ?
The Hay pic: would have been the POW internment camp there I would imagine.
Years ago the MV club here went on a trip to look over the Murchison WW2 POW camp in central Victoria ...it was interesting seeing the remains of it all hidden away in the bush ... Odd sights, like the elaborate stone memorial built by German POWs , looking strange sitting by itself in a lonely paddock . And the fancy entrance gates looking totally out of place in a isolated bush setting .We had a tour laid on by a local club member , the Cooler is still there , where they locked up the ' bad boys '. The Kormoran survivors were interned there too and and least one returned to live in the district after the war . Apart from the cooler , there was only one original building still intact ,complete with barbed wire surounds . We had contemporary pics to compare it all . Examples of the large old gum trees were still standing and we matched the scenes from the WW2 photos as if it was 1942 again, the trees matched up perfectly . Eerie feeling overall.
