Nice bus. There are a few splitty owners here in Toowoomba and a local VW club. We'll have to catch up for a looksee.
Cheers, Dave.

My understanding is the bus was ordered under the Tourist Delivery Program from VW Canada Toronto on January 18th 1961. Then it was delivered/picked-up in Wolfsburg Western Germany on March 13th 1961 where the owner did some travelling. On November 23rd 1962 they shipped the bus from London to Sydney on the Queensland Star with 24513 miles on the odometer eventually ending up in Bendigo. I'll post some pic's of the documents I have with heaps of this cool old info
