|
| About 40km from Drouin in Gippsland is the hilly timber town of Noojee.
Once home to many CMPs their numbers have dwindled to almost none. In February
2003 I visited and photographed this rusty F15A once used for hauling timber.

| This truck is really only suitable for parts, sadly. The bumper was torn off when the owner tried to move it with a tractor a few years ago. Something must be badly seized somewhere. |
He said she ran like clockwork and always started easily. |

The ownre who bought the truck around 1970 for $700. He added the Gar
Wood chain driven winch. The truck last ran about 20 years ago and he claims
he's been offered $500 for it. Good luck to him! |

| Two real gems and unusual to find on a wreck like this - the horn and
button. |
