My Holden Special Station wagon - 1962 model

After I left Brisbane and returned to Sydney, I brought another Holden, this time a station wagon. It was an EK model, one of the most popular Holdens made. Regarding the two photos above The photo on the left is not the one I had but it is a better photo than what I had, the photo to the right is of the actual car and the photo was taken at Bathurst, at the famous Bathurst 1000, or as it was known back then, The Hardie Ferodo 500. Not sure on the year but probably around maybe 1971.

It was also about then when I met Pam, my wife to be, I had  job in a small meatworks at Homebush. Pam's family had a vacancy for a boarder and I moved in.

The other two blokes in the photo are Tim and Rob, two friends I met in Brisbane. They were Tasmanians but were currently living in Brisbane, I had met them there, they were neighbours at the San Mateo caravan park I was living in in Slacks Creek, (Long gone) on the corner of Padstow and Logan Roads Eight Mile Plains,  they were on a working holiday touring Australia.

Rob and Tim and Pam and Elaine, Tim's girlfriend, and I became great friends and Rob was actually my best man when we Pam and I married in 1972.

Following our marriage Pam and I moved to Woody Point on the Redcliffe Peninsular, Tim and Rob were still living in their caravan in the San Mateo.

They eventually moved on and contact was lost, I suspect they may have returned to Tassie following their 'lap'...internet searches have been unable to locate either of them.

Before leaving Sydney I traded this old Holden in at a Parramatta Road car sales on a Cortina....Ron Hodgson motors, one of the cities largest at that time.
