Very interesting place!

Ken,

Never been really into the Hippy/ Nimbin thing - but I love all things kombi so maybe one day if I have the time I might join in. Then again - all those smelly unwashed hippies might make me re-think it.

Valla is much more fun and so is Old Bar when it doesn't torrentially rain (like the first year). I think I will stick to them and Harts place for New Year. Thats a fairly full calendar for me ( I don't get out much).

Cheers,

Skot

Scott,
I've only ever been there twice. Once to visit the monthly markets ... well worth the browse and take in the "atmosphere". The next time was interesting. Never before have I experienced parking in the main street only to be immediately "accosted" and shown where the 'stuff" was to be had, immediately followed by policemen walking nonchalantly by as if nothing was happening!
We need a Nimbin syncro tagalong!

Obviously designed for those who like to visit the "high country".
 
Am however seriously considering coming up for the Sydney May 27 Show and Shine and Syncro Gabfest.but got to work round a few other things. If I can make it would also like to discuss further the proposed Tassie trip.
 
Cheers and please keep off the grass when working on  or driving your Syncro..

Very well put Roger.

This is definitely the "High Country".

So many zombies walking around.

Its our version of Amsterdam.

Hi fellow syncro nutters,

Below is a link to a caravelle syncro that is for sale in the NSW
Southern highlands.

http://www.carsguide.com.au/cars-for-sale/P11446261/used-1991-VOLKSWAGEN-CARAVELLE-GL-SYNCRO-(4X4)--5-SP-MANUAL-4x4-Unleaded-People-Mover-in-Illawarra-&-Southern-Highlands.html

Looks ok from the terrible long distance and dark photos - but so do I -
up close is a different story.

Hence, this one needs looking at before a recommendation could be passed on.

Can anyone help out the interested buyer from Brisvegas?

Thanks,

Skot
Towradgi is on the coast just north of Wollongong near Corrimal.

It's a 1990 model.

Phil,

You are about 2 hours closer to this place (each way) than I am. Any chance you could pass your expert eye over it?

The photos are next to useless and the rear shot shows the 7 seats in place and it clearly now only has 5 as they made it wheel chair accessible.

Thanks,

Skot
