On our recent trip back from Melbourne we stopped for a coffee at the town of Gunning which was by-passed by the motorway years ago. If you have never been there it's a pleasant little town with some nice historic buildings, and these days, about six shops that were open on the day, all on the eastern side of the main street.
At the southern end of the shops is an old garage, Baileys Garage, which has a nice new coat of paint and red sign writing, and on the southern wall a group of painting of "real" Holden cars, starting with the 48-215 up to the 1977 HZ. A sign informs the artist is Peter Try and it is a Gunning Focus Group Product. I don't know how long the Hall of Fame has been there, but I don't remember it from a couple of years back.
There was plenty of parking along side the wall to take a photo with your car if you had a Holden, and heck I might even take the Vauxhall next to it when I'm there again, but it would be a must for me if I owned a Holden.
It's a great old garage and still in use for mechanical work it seems, but if it ever comes up for sale I reckon it would make a great place for a Holden and Caravan Museum Richard
. Maybe a partnership and stick a few Vauxhalls in too
What a way to put Gunning on the map
Oh, and there is a very pleasant looking free camp area at the northern end of town.
