In December 1966 two nineteen year olds undertook a road trip from Sydney to Adelaide, Melbourne and back to Sydney.
The recent discovery of letters and postcards written during those travels brought back back many fond memories.
Read about our road trip on my new page “1966 Road Trip” (see site Menu).
Rowan,
This is fascinating history and great writing. What a memory and what a trip all in that little mini.How did it survive ?
I remember it so well, big Ian and the little mini. It was impossible for him to fit in, but somehow he did unfolding out of it like some sort of body origami puzzle.
Great great story, thank you..maybe a short story called the “S Bends” starring the mini and other cars may follow?

I am pleased you like it. I think that cars and our relationship with them was different in 1966.
