Saw this large mural the other day. It is in the small town of Tannymorel Qld. Tannymorel is not far from Killarney or Warwick. Only 172k from Brisbane. Killarney also has some lovely murals. The ones by the Heritage Centre and another across the road and up a bit. The blue cherry picker thingy is in the road down the far end.

Great Murals Gaylene, that train looks so real. Some great artists getting work with all the murals and silo art etc. I enjoy going around looking at them all.
Keep Safe out there, and (no picking up any unwanted Covid hitchhikers)

Grea photos Gaylene. I did not realist that they had progressed so far. The rail precinct at Tanneymorel are working with ours in Warwick to move the water tank that we have out to their display. It originally came from there apparently. More money is needed to help with the move.
I must get out there and take a look.

There are indeed some wonderful paintings on silos, buildings - look up the Facebook site Australian Art Trail. They have produced a book too now.
I saw one yesterday where the artist - Simon White Art was commissioned to paint a colour bond shed wall in Dirimbandi - the end result over a weekend was amazing!! Do any of you remember the old late 40s, early 50s Ford Prefect?

One of these powerful (?) beasts, Warren? One of these was supplied as a "Company car" when I was working in the bush, many moons ago! Very safe car though, and rarely involved in accidents because, at 10 horsepower, they were so gutless and slow that any accidents were over before they got there! Bench front seat provided comfortable area to sleep, or whatever? Converted mine to 12 volt because the girlfriend at the time got sick of having to drop the clutch for me when I regularly push-started it because of not enough battery power. Probably loved by some in their day, but seeing one now makes you appreciate how far things have come in 70 years! Cheers
Yes yobarr, that's the car! I'm surprised that they were 10hp. A mate had one & yes it was gutless.
My 1948 Singer 9, later 10 ran the pants off it! But then the Singer was a sports car with a chain driven OHC. And it came with a crank handle that worked better than a push start! The only "drag" I declined was against a Jag XK120!
Those were the days!

We were out near Coopers Creek and a 1949 Prefect rocked up,but it had Suzuki 4WD running gear underneath.

sorry to hijack conversation
Brings back memories, my first car was an Austin A40. Cost me nothing as it was given to me around 1972 when I first got my licence

There were many A40 models, but I seem to recall that as being an A40 Somerset? Perhapd someone can confirm. Cheers

Reminds me of our end-of-year high school car rally in 1970, where all would-be competitors had to nominate their navigator and the model of their car. There were the usual PA Vauxhalls, Humber 80s, Mark 2 Zephyrs, FB Holdens, Humber Super Snipes and other power-houses of the day. However, we all were in awe when the son of the school gardener, who was affectionately known as "Pa Nature", listed his entry as "E Type". We all eagerly awaited the arrival of this seemingly unbeatable entry of an "E Type Jaguar", but it it turned out to be a Morris series E, all 8hp of it. Cheers

Thank you.
