B1R15-130 VW #CLM174 in Madura 6 mi south cave

We drove into the end first time on the 16th after leaving Madura at 3:30 sandwiches and removed a stick from the left tyre.
It was a low sink and low flat cave. "First in, in a car I'd say"
Out and lit fire. soup.steak. peas and spuds. Felt good and talked about school & Uni. Tech and jobs until 11:15.. Radio on & a Beautiful clear sky and full moon lit the night...

We woke at 7 on the 17th. (Never thought I would be at my wedding a year later on the 17th Dec 1966) (and back all over the Nullarbor to Twilight Cove in the VW in Dec this year, 1965)

I cleaned the plugs and adjusted the right-hand tappets. Drove the VW into the cave and took a couple of photos.

Did not remember two trips into the cave!! #flickrfeature

They also performed well in Antarctica… youtu.be/hqr7t7nBIVA?si=pUPH0Acu_xh7zjW0
Mine went well in the snow up to Charlottes Pass
