Day 4 of our trip to Penola and our last day.
We were up early this morning and packed the cars. Our first stop was a little cafe in Penola for breakfast. It was then on the road and our next stop for the day being Coleraine, as we spotted a vintage car in a shop window. Unfortunately they were closed, but we were able to see a few more vehicles inside through the window, we then had a look at some funny sculptures in a garden, before hitting the road again. Next stop was Cemps Auto Museum in Hamilton. A fantastic collection of vehicles and memorabilia, but our highlight was a 1915 Studebaker Tourer. We then had a couple more short stops in a few small country towns, before arriving home mid afternoon.

Day 3 of our trip to Penola.
First we visited the Coonawarra railway siding for a group photo of the cars.
It was then onto the Coonawarra market, where we brought a few things. We the drove out to the Naracoorte Caves, for a look around the park and the visitors centre, followed by a tour of the fossil caves.
Heading back to Penola we stopped at Farther Woods Park, to look at the wood calved sculptures. Finished the night off with a delicious dinner at the motel restaurant.

Upgraded the headlights in the 53 Commander today. The old 6 voltage sealed beams were just not cutting it. Fitted LED'S, and even in the daylight, they are so much brighter.

Update: tried the new lights out in the dark, they work great!!

Today marks 28 years of owning the 1961 Lark Cruiser.
Mum and dad brought it for me when I turned 16 and dad and I did it up. It was my daily driver for 3 years when I turned 18. I have driven to many destinations around Australia and taken it on lots of Holidays. It was one of our wedding cars and Hunter claimed it as his since the age of 2, and still does to this day.
It has been an awesome car.
