Well spotted Mike K!
Yes, there are a host of 'Defects' within the C-520XX registration series, but the registrations are mixed amongst a bunch of other stuff, so my notes about what was what are less than comprehensive. Half the series C-52070 to 52079 are Prefects, all with engine/chassis numbers like 'C221571', so the one pictured could be any one of 5 different vehicles. I noted that many were disposed of to the Department of Air by inter-agency transfer. Keith: Perhaps the preponderance of Ford CMPs in that area of Victoria was simply a function of the locals knowing exceptional quality when they saw it??!!  (THAT should get the GM devotees fired up!!) Mike C

Noojee
We could arrange a 'Before and After' photo shoot .
Well done . You can see where a Shell bowser was, the base area is visible. This thread is going on and on, but we must be boring the guys outside of Victoria  A neighbour here has 100 year + old gold mining mullock heaps on his place. Chinese diggers apparently. A timber tramway cutting is also visible down the road. One cannot imagine the back breaking manual labour involved, they moved an incredible amount of dirt with shovels .

My sister was a school teacher in Noojee in 1970 and during one visit to the town to see her, I had a look into the then Country Fire Brigade shed. There was a Dodge weapons carrier in there as the Noojee fire truck. It didn't look too love at that time and I often wonder just what happened to it.
Good photo Mike K. Regards Rick.
