Trip went well excepting a gearbox problem coming home.

A highly recommended way of travel!

Seems the authorities suggested to use a GLOSS finish for staff cars, within Australia anyway, dated Feb. 45

Thank you Mike and Lang, good to know. I'll follow the lead and see what I can manage. At this stage, I'm hoping to do the drive from Junee to Corowa next month.

Cheers,
Matt

I spotted that exact same green covered manual at a swap meet today , the seller was asking $20. The GM-H published edition of that manual has a greyish cover , I have a copy but the spine is damaged and the pages are very loose. Didn't see any military hardware at the swap except for a monocular gun (?) ranging sight, it had selectable filters , red, clear and another position. I had a look through it and the cross hairs were clear - it would have been a nice item but where do you stop collecting stuff !
