I came across this video on YouTube and I thought it share it with you all.

abandoned cars in North Western Victoria Australia

Unfortunately I was unsuccessful in locating the aerial imagery for the place so I can't show exactly how big it is. The video uploader said it's somewhere near Maryborough.

I'm not familiar with many of the cars these guys were drooling over. It seemed like they were very excited over stuff that seemed well past the point of being a usable or even restorable car.

Hi Aaron,

Yep it looked like a dumping ground for abandoned cars. When nature tries to grow out of the engine and tail-pipe, it's a good sign the car is phucked.
I didn't see anything interesting there but a good find none the less. Kind of like how you found your Mazda Cosmo.

I think a lot of those cars are derivatives of american cars; Fords and Holdens. You might not have heard of a Holden but they are just derivatives of American cars like Pontiac.

Yep, Pontiac has been out of business for a while. It's funny becuase one of the Pontiac dealers in town is now a Nissan dealer. Dale Downie ( http://www.daledownie.ca ) Pontiac is now Dale Downie Nissan.

What's humorous is that I'm fairly sure I remember Dale on the local TV several years ago in a pro-domestic commercial saying how inferior the important brands were and how he is proud to sell hown grown vehicles that support the local economy. Then last year, Dale Downie Pontiac is suddenly Dale Downie Nissa.

They should find out the ownership of that dumping ground and then salvage the good parts. Then spend the next few years eBaying the stuff to people who are restoring.

Ha! It's all about the money. Sounds like the guy will say anything to sell a car; whatever's music to the customers ears.



Who does this guy think he is... Chuck Norris?

I guess he needed his ears cleaned out? Or an instant shave?
