Does anyone know exactly where?

Search: nader place, edmondson park, N.S.W

South of that you'll see the old Adventureland site, old giant slide, water slide, go-kart track. Theres a heap of junk lying around there, go through the various dates, can see Ranger racked, Love Express, Trabant, Gravitron set-up etc

Also Luddenham showground is the "base showground" for showmen to stay when they're working in and around Sydney, also alot of trucks are left there during Sydney show. If you search "Park Road, Wallacia, N.S.W" go east until the road comes to the intersection of the Northern road, the showground is on the corner there. Latest photos show Watkin's Trooper and Track. !2th April you can see Dean Davis' wheel set-up with his Zipper near-by. ANd a heap of trucks, trailers etc

Yeh that's the one

Did o'neill's run this place as a park at one time can see the remains of a cart track or something and the slide look as if it's permanent

They Sure have some stuff lying about
looks like some of it hasn't moved in a year

Hello Bell's Turbo,,,,,,

mmmmm, Stalkers anonymous

Yeh they ran it as Adventureland, has been talked about somewhere here on the forums. I was told a few weeks ago that apparently down the back of their yard somewhere there's an old Hurricane which hasn't moved in years, never heard of O'Neill's owning a Hurri?

Cheers for that Jaffa, I've looked for Bell's yard a few times and never found it. Interesting to finally see Turbo sitting there in the scrub. Got the old tarped roof of the TB sitting next to it. Hopefully we will be seeing it soon
