By Michael Velling, Germany on Sunday, October 30, 2016 - 04:32 am:Hello to all of you, since one week we are travelling from Darwin in direction to sydney. Today we found a small (private) museum in Winton (Queensland):
http://wintontruckmuseum.com/
Here the google maps link:

and some pictures
They have a lot of trucks and some engines from several trucks. No guide, so you have to look on your own and pay the entree fee (5 AUD) in a box at the entrance.
Greetings
Michael from germany (now staying in Longreach Australia)

I kick myself when I think of the old cars I should have collected. Good to see that the Honesty and Honour System is still alive and well.. it was always a feature of life in the Outback... a code that was respected and woe betide he who broke it.
