Is the meat cooked yet boys ? A real Professional at work , with dust coat too !
To Sydney and Back in an 'A' Model December 1952
This 'A' model was a sedan made into a utility and it was a very good job. I bought it at a second hand shop which looked more like a pawnbroker's place in Perth the $150. It ran very nicely and I used it to carry my tools around the wheatbelt area of Dowerin and found it very good in the outer areas where farmers were developing farms and two wheel tracks were common. Well a friend of mine, whom I met in the airforce, and I got this idea of going to Sydney and back so I decided to do some preparations. I put new king pins in, put new rings, valves and springs and she ticked over nicely. A month later, a week before Christmas, we set off from Perth and it was very hot. It boiled and boiled and I wondered how we were going to get across like this. The load consisted of a case of beer as Sydney was having a drought, 3 jerry cans of petrol and 13 gallons of water as well as luggage. Well, we struggled along to Southern Cross which is 250 miles and parked in in the main street. I decided the timing was out and went through the drill again and cracked it perfect. So, off we went and in those days the dirt road started out of Southern Cross. Nice corrugations but we kept up good time to Coolgardie - from there we headed for Norseman 120 miles away. It was hard corrugations from side to side with dense scrub and plenty of kangaroos at Widgiemooltha where it was very undulating. I just missed the back end of the last donkey crossing the road - no flash headlights in those days - and rolled into Norseman at about 10pm. It took us from 6am to do 452 miles. Well, we just left it outside the hotel and went to bed and it was still there in the morning. We filled everything up and heard a few doubtful remarks from the locals about "the eagles will get us" etc. and headed off. The stage from Norseman to Madura was 330 miles and no fuel or water stops. One had to carry everything and the only help was from someone on the road. This road is fairly hilly for the first 100 miles with sharp dips at the bottom which meant one had to slow down almost and start again. After about 100 miles I began to wonder at the madness of this but kept going - one starts to hear strange noises and the imagination runs wild. I heard a scraping noise like stones hitting the scrub at the back and found a spare tyre had come undone off the back and was on the last rope about 10ft behind grading the dirt. My friend had little experience with 'A's and he made hard work steering and took every rock and hole. We got our first puncture so from there on I drove on all the rough roads. With these cars on those roads one tends to let the car have its head like a horse. I guess letting steering follow the least line of resistance and miss everything, otherwise it's really hard work. Well, I hit this spoon drain in the dark and I think the radius rod cut the silencer off and from then on it was an open exhaust under the driver's seat and for some unknown reason I went to Sydney and back like that - I couldn't do that now. On this trip the track goes through station country and it's a case of opening and shutting gates and some of the notices were a bit rude like at Frazer Range Station - "Shut This Bloody Gate" and in small letters "And Don't Pinch This Sign". It made the trip interesting. We made Madura about midnight - the old Madura Pass had bitumen on it and it was beaut to have no pot holes. The old Madura homestead was well back from the present site. Things were tough - there were worn out cars on the heap. In the morning, the rocks on the ground got you out early and the 'A' was still on the air but very dusty - started up as usual. Petrol was 7/6 pence a gallon - terrible after 3 shillings in the city. Well, we were really in the frontier now as they insisted on me telling them my estimated arrival time in Eucla - took my number and said they'd ring through and come looking for me if I didn't make it. An old chap with an early model Vauxhall had a leaking radiator - asked me for a couple of eggs - had me puzzled. He separated the yoke and mixed the white in my
billy can, poured it in and when it gets to the hole and warms up, it poaches itself. He passed me up the road and never saw him again. Meanwhile, my radiator dripped all the time. We pushed on and bulldust holes were shocking but strange to say, with running boards a lot of it passed under. This sedan body had little rubber in the wind up window tracks so you can imagine the noise all the time - 112 miles to Eucla. Gurneys had the old telegraph station in those days before it was buried with sand at the coast. They told me the road was unusable for about 20 miles from the top of the pass and I believed them. We were grinding up the old pass when down the hill cam two young fellows in an 'A' ute - no top with 16" wheels and a 44 gallon drum on the back. Lots of waving but no one could stop. At the top of the hill we saw that the road was useless - great big dust holes and limestone outcrops - so we did the next 20 miles in and out the telephone wire. Nothing like a change - made the 65 miles to Koonalda Homestead where the other Gurney family lives. We were lucky to be shown down the underground caves. Mr Gurney took us down to the bottom about 300 ft and looks like an underground railway system with rivers. We pushed on to Nullabor Station Homestead which was deserted in those days. I was having a bit of generator trouble. I thought I'd take a short cut at dusk and got lost on the tracks and eventually saw a mill in the last light and made it to a couple of old buildings there. It was bitterly cold and we camped in the little hut. The dust had got into the brushes of the generator. The Nullabor was an eerie place in those days. This country was old sand dunes overgrown with sparse scrub so one charged up the sides and almost every time there was a big dust hole with limestone outcrops in them. The road in between had hard corrugations and we had to keep the speed to about 45 - fairly hair raising - as you can see we would have been using all the road. Came across two new Australian in an old semi trailer - bonnet off it and a hole in the radiator and being an old hand offered them the egg treatment - "Oh, you joke." they said and drove off. We left rolling along and Ceduna was a welcome sight - we camped by the ocean. We still had 300 miles of dirt to Pt. Augusta but it was hard sand and much better than what we were used to from Minnipa. We didn't go direct to Kimba in those days - we seemed to go south around old farming areas then up to Kimba. We really threw our hats in the air at Pt. Augusts. One turned up to Gladstone as the road didn't go to Pt. Pirie as it does now. Well, we arrived in Adelaide and the Nullabor seemed to drop out of the lining and up from the floor boards every time I ran over tram tracks - caused a bit of excitement when I was doing a right turn and stalled in front of a tram. I couldn't hear the tram driver for my open exhaust. I seemed to be very lucky with tyres as I only had three punctures on the round trip. In Melbourne I had Christmas with relatives and it was a relief to get out of the car. When I put the rings in the engine it was cleaned out like a new one. This was done on a farm and when I went to start up I didn't have any oil. The farmer had a 4 gallon can of Delvac 930 - a full detergent for tractors, so I bought it off him and kept using it. Was out of Penong when the 1000 mile came up so decided to change on the road. I had a habit of placing a bit of cloth in the oil filter to stop the dust and fumes. My mate checked the oil last along the road and said he pushed it down further - that was the day before. I took the plate off the bottom of oil pump and there is was. On Christmas Eve in Melbourne I went down to Camberwell Junction to shop and for some reason I turned the petrol off. Well, I started up and was doing a right in the Junction and she stalled and there I was cranking and cursing. I wondered how it never stopped in the desert and treats me like this now and then I woke up. By this time there are trams coming everywhere and everyone on to me. It was in Melbourne my 4 gallon can of oil ran out and I asked a service station for some more. He looked at me in horror and said, "You will ruin your engine, mate". I told him I had come from Perth. We were heading for the Coastal or Pacific Highway when we were passing through Sale and needed to go to the toilet. We parked outside a hotel as the toilet was out by the street in the old days. I'd left the car running and while we were inside a drunk came in and said "And how's it running?" I said "going like a beauty mate". Ten miles up the road we began to wonder what he was talking about. We stopped at Lakes Entrance and moved on up to Onbost from where is was the worst road to Moruya - dirt and corrugations and hair pinned bends. It was New Year's Day and everyone was on the road. Sometimes, when on the inside, the left running board was scraping on the embankment as brakes were very little use. We were very pleased to see the sealed road at Moruya. Well, from there we made Sydney and couldn't have picked a worse time as it was late afternoon. I rang an accommodation bureau and they got me into the Crows Nest Hotel. I rang from Redfern. Well I got into the city and couldn't find the bridge and every time the traffic stopped we'd ask people on the tram stops directions. Some looked and said nothing and after a couple of laps got on the right track. This was 5pm - rolled up to the toll and gave the man sixpence. Sorry Mate, you're a commercial - it's a shilling." Then there was a scramble to find the extra amongst the blasts from behind. We got going again and came to the Crows Nest intersection. I was staggered - there was a hotel on the other side and big cop direction all that traffic. He must have noticed the strange number, sheep skulls on the front and the look on my face as he stopped all traffic and came over and said, "Where do you want to go?" I said, "The put over there seems a hundred mile away and I wish I was out in the desert." He said "Good experience for you" and help up everyone and let me
through. I parked the old beast and didn't touch it for five days, beer and all in it. You couldn't do that sort of thing these days. Being rested we took off to Katoomba to look at the scenery and along Parramatta Road heard a dry bearing squeaking and people wouldn't believe that it happened outside Hasting Deering - Ford Agents. I bought a front wheel bearing and replaced it on the highway. From Katoomba we went to Jenolan Caves. The road was still dirt in some parts and rough with the traffic. Thought the 'A' was dragging brakes or losing power - got out, had look round. Found a sign on the side saying "Summit 4000ft". Maybe it was lacking oxygen. Well, at Jenolen was the turn round point of the trip and with a lot of gear changes up and down, returned to Sydney. We headed for Canberra where we stayed for a couple of days, saw some sights and drove through a river ford which I'd say is under the lake now. We moved on down to Melbourne via the Hume Highway. Think some of the holes were worse than out in the bush. From Melbourne went via Geelong along the coast to Mt Gambier. The trip from there past the lakes to Tailem Bend was crushed rock - very rough, dusty and hard on the eys and that hand throttle go a lot of use - just sit and hang on. After a spell in Adelaide, headed off to Perth being a lot lighter without the case of beer - the road was about the same. Rough - out in the far west I failed to miss a piece of spring leaf with the front wheel and it came up and bashed against the window which happened to be up. I think I could have been hurt if I'd been in an open car. When we got to Ceduna the usual thing was the Postmaster got people to deliver mail bags along the way. We had mail and a pair of new shoes for Mrs Gurney at Eucla - the shoes were almost out of the box when we arrived and didn't fit anyway. Once along that part of the country I was going flat out for miles to keep on top of the corrugations when I got flagged down by a chap in a Morris Minor and after shaking to a stop he says, "Gee Mate, you've got some rough road ahead of you". I was speechless as it took me a mile of shuddering to get my speed up to find the road improve. We eventually got to Perth very dusty after no baths etc for a week. After a hose down the 'A' looked as good as ever. We did 6,500 miles and had three punctures and broke a few spokes in the wheels. I've just driven over in 2½ days on the new road to Adelaide and am sure we had a wonderful trip even if we didn't quite have our senses.

11th National Ford 'T' Rally "T's Convene in 2013"
Barossa Valley, South Australia Report by Andrew Wells
Andrew Wells, Mundaring, W.A. My prep started last summer by repainting my single axle open box trailer so it wouldn’t look too bad near the nice shiny enclosed trailers that some owners have. Closer to departure time I removed the wheels, cleaned the rust off the cable operated disc brakes, checked the bearings and a good look at the tyres (185x14 light truck) been on a few years but no sign of deterioration. Stole a wheel from my 8x4 trailer for a spare.
One week before departure I gave the T a quick check over, it went ok last time I drove it so it must be OK. Lowered the top, removed the headlights (just paid $700 to have them repair after an altercation with a motel sign) side and tail lights, motormeter and mirror, which Carol carefully wrapped in towels and packed in a box.
Tuesday I drove it onto the trailer, fitted the boot/tonneau and strapped it down. It was left in the paddock that night hooked up to the Forester (2 litre diesel). Wednesday morning, last things in the Forester and we are away at 5-55am. Stopped at Southern Cross for fuel 163.9, then again at Norseman 166.5. Again at Balladonia 199.9 where we spent the night in a $150/night cabin. Lots of Docker fans heading East. Two young couples weren’t going anywhere as their little van had blown a head gasket.
The sun was well up when got going to Cocklebiddy 202.00 then to Eucla 194, usually one of the cheaper places for fuel. The small nozzle diesel pump was out of order. I tried the high flow ,squirt-click, squirt-click, squirt-click. I managed to get 11 litres in before my patience ran out. Next stop, Nullarbor 210.9 That’s why I wanted to fill up at Eucla. Stopped the night a Penong then 72Km to Ceduna 162.9 then to Kimba 166, Port Wakefield 156.9. Last sleep before Tununda, where the rally was held. You ask why I stopped so often for fuel. Well you might as well put some fuel in if you have to stop for some other reason! Also if you calculate you can reach cheaper fuel and then you get strong head winds. Oh dear. Also the roadhouse you are aiming for may have run out and some are 220Km apart. Border Village had no diesel on our way East! Saturday morning we made our way to Gawler to deliver some wheels and were invited to stay for a delicious lunch. Finally a short hop to our caravan park cabin in Tununda and to prepare the T for check-in on Sunday
Sunday - Check In & later a Welcome Night with supper. Monday - Lyndoch & wineries, around 100kms Very windy. The forecast was for 80km/h winds and they weren’t wrong Tuesday - Sevenhill near Clare. Great day at 240 kms. Still windy Some didn’t do the whole distance and
missed out on the lunch they had paid for. Wednesday - Breakfast at Seppeltsfield, 20kms. The 100yo ‘13s were lined up for a photo shot with the owners each holding a 250ml bottle of 100yo port which sell in an oak box for $999! We had to hand them back. Thursday - National Motor Museum at Birdwood, around 90kms. Friday - Kapunda, around 56 kms. Final dinner and presentations.
More info and photos of the rally can be found at: http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/331880/390979.html?1381215261 Friday afternoon we loaded the T ready for a quick get away on Saturday morning after the final rally function, a scrumptious breakfast. 9am saw us on our way home following the directions of that magic black box stuck on the windscreen, it took us back through some of the towns we had been to with the T, through to Crystal Brook where we filled up at 156.9. Somewhere around Iron Knob we came across a road train that had fallen over spreading it load of cartons of ? all over the road. Next Kimba 166.9 then Ceduna 159.9 and again stopped overnight at Penong.
Woke to bright sunshine, the clock said 6-30 but that was funny SA time. Back in the car the clock said 5 am, good old WA time, Fuel 203.9 at Nullarbor where you have to hand your licence in before they will turn on the pump. Just before the border there was another road train having a little lie down on it‘s side. Handed in half a cucumber at the border quarantine inspection stop, the inspector wanted to look in everything including the T, but there was nothing to find. Fuel again at Mundrabilla 194. Stopped at Madura for lunch and peeked at the pump, 220. Bought fuel at Caiguna 202, then on to Norseman. The sign said 163.9 but the pump was 165.9. Of course I queried it and was told the cheaper price was at the fast flow pumps for the trucks! That was a long day as the car clock once again said 5 o’clock and the trip meter indicated 1160km.
Leaving Norseman fairly early the next morning we headed for Grass Valley to pick up our two dogs from their holiday home and to have lunch. Stopped at Yellowdine for fuel 164.9 and morning tea. Turning off Gt Eastern Hwy to Grass Valley we went of down the wrong road and did an extra 20 km. After lunch and a chin wag we loaded the dogs and headed home. for a good sleep.
Total trip of 5519 km using 668.38 litres of diesel with a total cost of $1175.
An average cost of $1.76/litre and consumption rate of 12.11 litres/ 100 km
