Awesome photos aren't they. I will start a thread dedicated to Dale shortly and post some of the other shots he sent me from Warwick Farm, Amaroo, Oran Park, Bathurst etc. Wait till you see the shot of Brabham in the single seater at Bathurst.
Oh and the car I asked Dale about is this one. The man himself at Lakeside last year. Photo courtesy of Mark Pryor. Thanks Mark.

Thanks guys, I'm really looking forward to seeing these. BTW, that car had me scratching my head. I had to Google you. Is it a Proton?

Yes. A one off built by Erol Richardson in 1968/69.

Hi all,
I'm chasing any old pictures of Catalina Park (Katoomba) if anyone has them for donation/sale for a book I am writing on the subject. Any and all photo's used will be credited to the photographer/owner of such pics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Darren.
