Smile Summer Holidays

In the summers of the 1950's my extended family would escape the heat of the Riverina & head to the cool waters & cool night air of Tathra, on the south coast.
Following Dad's recent demise & the subsequent house cleaning, I found a couple of photos that might be of interest to MLU'ers.
First Photo is the Holgate Family camp site, featuring the family's most famous member, the Fabulous F15!

And finally, my truck again with my Aunt, who still lives in Ganmain & in her late 60's

Great shots Howard
Family history is important and it's good to see a cmp history into the blend

Default Wonderful Pictures

These are just great photos, of family memories. I hope that some of our other MLU brethren who have had CMPs as members of their extended family will share some of those special family pictures.

Next February my HUP will have been part of our family for 30 years, it is a standing joke in the family that I have more pictures of the trucks than of the kids. My response is but the kids are in lots of the pictures of the truck.

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Cheers Phil
