I've scanned some of the photos I could find. I did have more somewhere, but who knows where they've got to.

Hey Rick, I'm in the house purchase. We can form a company and sell shares to all those who want to buy in. It's done all the time here. Can we get a price on this place? Direct approach just walk up and knock? Don't tell them were fans of the moves or the price will tripple.

Looks like I'm the proud owner of a 73 XB, it all happened so fast.. After midnight here, good night.

The idea of the 7 foot high electric fence is to keep people out....

Walk in and knock??? Around here Real Estate Agents are chased away.... too many annoying phone calls.... leaflets.... letters... junk mail.....

As for price... due to its location id say its already out of reach to the average wage worker....

Hey Rick that XA coupe with the side skirt flares.... where they formed metal? or fibreglass?

I came across a XB coupe with simlier side-skirts, they were formed with sheet metal and spot welded to the body.... They looked pretty well professionally made too....

I'm pretty sure they were fibreglass. Probably bought from a catalogue and modified to suit the coupe.

I can't remember the name of the street, but I bet Sam does! Sam was my navigator for the trip, so probably best to ask him. I wouldn't have known where it was unless he had is bloody Google Earth spy-cam pics to go by.

You have to heard north... along the M31 highway outta Melbourne....

Keep going past craigieburn... about 3km from memory....

You will come to a big intersection on the freeway.... but it has no traffic lights. On the left is Grand Boulevard (right next to a new housing estate)....

BEFORE you get to the roundabout... there is a road to your right. This road runs parrallel to the freeway..... (It may be an extension of Mt Riddley Road... but im not sure). It may be called Regal Rise.....

Follow this road and eventually you come to a left hand turn which leads up a small hill.

This road turns into Mt Riddley Road.....

About 100m or less... on your right you will see a large water tank... the property next door is Mays house.... It has a new BIG electric gate.... and has a lot of trees and shrubs along its fenceline..... you can barely see the house through it all.

I would not advise trying to ask for entry to have a look around.... in everyones interest i think, not to step on peoples toes... which is probably why they have such a high sercurity fence....

As a side note... if you follow Mt Riddley Road... which is VERY long.... you come to Konagaderra Rd.... turn right and follow it... a few more kilometers of winding road... and on your Left you come to Wildwood road. Follow it.... its pretty straight...

You then come to Wildwood Rd North... which turns into Gellies Road....

Gellies road then turns hard right........ and hey presto... you come up on EMU CREEK BRIDGE ! (from the wrong direction in the movie)....

Follow Gellies Rd and you get to a T intersection.. turn left onto Lancefield road (C325)...

You then can go back to Melbourne ! Turn left at the next major road... which then takes you to Bulla....

Now had i have Known this.... I wouldve taken this route !... lol.....

Maybe next time
