THE WALLABY TRACK WITH LIONEL MUSSELL

A KOMBI CARAVAN !

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A VW KOMBI CONVERTED INTO A CARAVAN ? LIONEL HAPPENED ACROSS THIS BEAUTY DURING HIS STAY IN WALKAMIN VAN PARK , QLD .

Have you ever wondered what happens to vehicles that have been in a front-end crash ? I spotted just such a vehicle – a VW Kombi that was since converted into a lovely little caravan . The owner , Steve Morris , did the conversion himself many years ago . He says it is the most photographed Volkswagen in the world ! I think the pictures show how professionally it has been converted .
It even has an awning and a very nice paint job .
CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST
We normally have a Christmas in July at Walkamin but this year , covid made us put it back to August 1 and we had a great catered lunch , with about 50 of us scoffing chicken , pork and beef plus all the trimmings , and this was followed by some scrumptious desserts . My scales the next day revealed the folly of eating all that lovely grub and the bottle of moscato that brightened the occasion . I even shared a Christmas hug with the park coowner , Dallas !
MY LIFE STORY
I ' ve lived a very checkered life and at my daughter Jackie ' s suggestion , I have been writing it down . It ' s in 14 chapters and I ' ll eventually publish it as a print book or e-book . You can get a preview by going to my group Facebook page .
