Late October always brings up the combined NSW and QLD GT falcon clubs run to Valla. Roughly 120 cars in it's 23 year I think as an annual event

Clubs from NSW & QLD have been meeting at Valla Beach for over 20 years. Show & Shine - rougly 120 cars- in Bowra Street,

Nambucca Heads on Saturday 26th October 2013 (To be confirmed closer to date)

Exact time will be released closer to the date.

1957 Lyndal. Some childhood memories for you. The first privately owned caravan park in NSW I believe

This was the entrance to Nambuca and taken above the cottages you used to stay in way back when when in Woodbell Street.

A pic of "stringer cottages" came up in our facebook history group Nambuuca Valley old guard from the 50's but I cannot find it at the

moment... will keep looking

and Gordon Park 1956

One thing that has not changed is this background view... although they pulled down the Pub that replaced te pictured pub ( The Victoria)

and bunged up a bloody big Woolies store on one of the most picturesque ocean view ridges on the East Coast

So do yourself a favour if you pass through and spend 10 minutes taking in the view north (towards Coffs Harbour) and south (towards  from Pilot Hill I have been looking at it most of my life andthe vista never ceases to amaze me through its natural beauty

More great pics Dave--shame only 93 lookers.

~waves back there to Lyndal----still wasnt sure about the--al or el

--thats been going on for years............................Richo.

thanks for the show dave, that wagon, the Buick is the one i like out of the yank tanks. the blue Buick 8/40 looks familiar .. there's one (38?) here in this region with original paint upholstery etc in the same blue , so they got that right (or its the same car) i had a 1940 model that came from woodside army barracks in the Adelaide hills for a brief time in the 1980's. turn on the key , push the accelerator and a switch attached to the pedal activates the starter motor vrooom .. the straight eight erupts and the torque reaction makes it sway side to side on its springs. thirsty and not a particularly fast old thing though .  given a choice i'd take a WRC car and blitz the club gymkhanas .

 after another look i don't think its the local  blue car mainly because it has a compartment for spare wheels ahead of the RHF door (i used to know what they were called once too, but the word escapes me today). that one looks to be '39 or '40 as well.
