This morning Brendan and I travelled to Wynyard to look at the collection of veteran and vintage cars at Wonders of Wynyard. This museum houses only cars owned by Francis Ransley. The most significant car in the collection is a 1903 Ford model A. This car, number 31 is the oldest surviving Ford car.
The museum contains besides the Ford 1903 model A, a 1905 model F, 1907 model K, 1906 model N, 1908 model S, 1916 model T, 1928 model A and 1933 V8. There is also Darracq 1904 12hp, 1905 15hp; Cadillac 1904 model B and 1915 V8, Brush 1911, International Harvester 1911 motor buggy and Oldsmobile 1917 V8.There are also three motorcycles. I videoed the collection for my friend Norm, up there in the north of the Big Island.
While the boys were here, the girls took another ride through Table Cape. It is from here that we see some photographs taken by Adrienne. 1 – from Table Cape looking towards Boat Harbour beach, 2 - unusual architecture of a house with a winged roof, 3 – interesting place name, 4 – the light house with the sun caught in the rotating lens.
After lunch Brendan and I had an appointment with the fire wood supplier where Brendan bought a cubic metre of cut, split timber for his wood heater. We loaded the ute and brought the timber home.
It was then time for a scenic drive via Riana and Gunns Plains to Ulverstone. Adrienne took two interesting shots in the Leven Valley. The last time Brendan and Joanne were here it was the middle of the day and looked spectacular. Today half the valley was in shadow because the sun was going down, at 4:30pm
On our way to dinner at Fish Frenzy on the beach at Burnie, we witnessed a sunset at Sulphur Creek on the Old Bass Highway. We hope you will appreciate it.
Our way home after dinner was disrupted by a Police road block due to a traffic accident. The late news reported the death of two people in the accident. Instead of the 8km trip home we went 12km via Table Cape. This was the second time the girls had been on this road today.
