Title: Graveyards Post by: kleetus on June 21, 2008, 04:03:16 AM On a recent mid life crisis surfing trip I wandered over to the South Coast of NSW (from NE Vic) and couldn't help but notice that tucked away in some paddocks here and there were some fairly substantial Car Graveyards. I particularly remember one somewhere coming down the divide to I think was Merrimbula. Are these at all documented in any regard? Is it a NSW thing? Just curious and shitty that I didn't stop and take more notice. Cheeeeeeeeers!

After he died they had an estate auction getting rid of about half of the cars that were there. I think that this was nearly 10 years ago, so not really sure what is there now.
