I did a trip from Perth to Melbourne with dad and my dog back in the winter of 973 in dads EJ wagon, i was 13 at the time. we only took the basic spares like hoses/fan belt and a spare tube. we slept in the back and had a hot cooked meal every night at a roadhouse. Its a trip i hold very fondly, from so long ago !
My father had a EH special wagon. I think about it a lot and wish I had kept it. This adventure you two are having is priceless. Great memories. Look forward to seeing my EH adventures
love what you're doing, more of an adventure in something old than a new 4wd towing half a house behind. I have done a quite a few outback trips in my Moke and a VG Valiant wagon. Keep the videos coming, cheers.
@@summa-daze THeres still a few laying arround mate,over here we run them to the road right to their bitter end.The only problem they had was the Fiber timing cog,once that broke it was a no go,unless it was replaced.No parts left over here for them now.They were all great cars mate.Thanks for your vids. From NZ.
If it's anything like the eh wagon I had you will be get petrol fumed out as the fule tank seem sweet out fule fuems and the old red motors sweet out also you will be off your nut after 100kms

She make it easy. Had an HT ute 186 travelled round Australia carried Snow chains took me every where, your doing well Guys
Real Aussie trip in a REAL Aussie car !!!
Just like when I was a kid
A couple of mates of mine from Adelaide went across similar tracks and up to cape york in an EB? falcon with only the suspension raised.
I've been places some 4wds wouldn't get in Valiants, although most of it comes down to skill and experience.
This is going to be a freaking cool series.
EH is my favourite Holden learnt to drive in 1 and have had 5 of them
I hope you kept them all haha. Actually the first car I drove was a blue EH wagon. After that I was looking for one of my own.

Good stuff mate you and your great Aussie road trip.
All the best for the trip
Awesome from and eh guy in New Zealand
Are there many EH’s over there mate?

Love it.
GOOD ON YAS.....Thats the way to do it
Good trip. Curious as to were the other travelers were when you started to cook on the Weber?. That was a lot of meat. Cheers from Adelaide
Yeah it was a lot of food. The meat would have gone off if we didn't cook it. The dog ended up with most of it in the end.
You didnt tell us what happened with the uni vibration?
I was wondering if anyone would stock a uni joint for an EH these days..
Turns out they are easy to get. Ended up just driving itself out. Don’t ask me how haha
I think you two guys are legions
Farther and Son can’t beat the old
Holdens
Thanks mate, old cars in general I think
If it's anything like the eh wagon I had you will be get petrol fumed out as the fule tank seem sweet out fule fuems and the old red motors sweet out also you will be off your nut after 100kms
Cool, it would keep goin too, past all those cars that had no hope, and sadly deserted..
