Blacky,

Yep.  When I drove over in '23 for the solar eclipse, I stayed at a dodgy motel in Wudinna, but had a great meal at the pub, only to discover next morning that they had decent motel-style accommodation, and off the highway too . . .

On the strength of your recommendation I'll give Mundrabilla a go on the return journey.  Madura was OK, but a bit tired in appearance.

We have stayed at Wudinna pub a few times, the first time was because we couldn't get a room at Kimba and when we got to Wudinna they had the fire roaring, a great feed and at the time freshly refurbished rooms at a great rate. We have returned a couple of times since on the strength of that.

Hi Team,

Still creeping towards the start of the ute prep for paint etc and have just about got the wipers sorted. Electric conversion had already been done, I have purchased a washer system similar to the old bag version and I have a set of washer jets. The bit I don't have is the bezels with pipes for the washer line. IF anyone has a set they are willing to part with I am all ears (and beer tokens unless there is something I have that would be suitable as a trade).

Look I know this is a long shot but hey it's worth asking.
Does anyone have a modified FE or FC station wagon or panel van that they would consider moving on to a new custodian?
Any leads would be appreciated.

I'm on the lookout for something non-stock & registered (prefer WA rego).
V6 or V8 is my preference otherwise a Holden Red or RB26/30. 

Got a budget $30k+

Thanks,
Jezz   

I've just booked my accommodation -

Friday 11/4 Cobar Central Motor Inn
Saturday 12/4 Broken Hill Comfort Inn Crystal
Sunday 13/4 Wudinna Hotel/Motel
Monday 14/4 Eucla Hotel/Motel
Tuesday 15/4 Fraser Range Station
Wednesday 16/4 Merredin Motel

On Friday 11/4 I'm thinking of leaving around sunup, taking the Bells Line of Road to Lithgow, stopping at "the Hub" at Bathurst for the morning break, fuel at Wellington, lunch at Narromine and a comfort stop at Nyngan.  Dodge goats and 'roos into Cobar.

Saturday 12/4 I may stop at the Emmdale Roadhouse for a cuppa, the McCullochs Range rest area for a comfort stop, Little Topar for fuel and lunch, and cruise into Broken Hill in the mid-afternoon.

Sunday 13/4, depending on what time I get away from Broken Hill, the famous Yunta Creek crossing for a short break, Peterborough for fuel and Kimba for something to eat.

Monday 14/4 - morning tea, fuel and a few deep breaths at Ceduna, lunch and fuel at the Nullarbor Roadhouse.  Arrival time at Eucla depends on strength of headwinds.

Tuesday 15/4 - morning break at Madura, fuel and more food at Caiguna, fuel and coffee at Balladonia.

Wednesday 16/4 - morning break and fuel at Norseman, an early lunch at Kalgoorlie (or Coolgardie), fuel and coffee at Southern Cross.

Thursday 17/4 will be an easy cruise from Merredin to Perth.

(Anybody might think I've done this drive before . . . )

Thanks Kraka, I have one on my FE Sedan that I can copy. I was mainly fishing for more elegant DIY solutions, I've got a few responses on Facebook so far.

Hey Stinky the CRS rails are pretty easy to copy and I have a couple of there cross members at home that I could take a photo of and show you what they look like.

Craig,

Go to hrc.au and then Holden - Accelerator.  Most of the issues of Accelerator in the late '60s had an ad for the stop-lamp indicator, and may give an idea of where they were mounted.

Hi all, just noticed a Wilsonia gauge for FE/FC listed on Ebay. Sensible start price for a change. Interest5ing to see where it ends up. Cheers, Glenn
