I love the massive picture on their wall.

The picture was taken of a car park at Surfers Paradise in 1966 by a man called Fred Lang Senior and has atleast 3 minis in it

I'm trying to find out if I can buy a print of it somewhere...but not having any luck

There are a few Morris 1100's in the picture.

If you spot any more minis in it let me know

The picture takes up a whole wall pretty much and I could easily sit there for half the day looking at it.

Kirsten you could find out who made the signs as they would have it on file, or the franchise's head office might have it on file somewhere.
great pic tho and love the big boards on the mini roof rack.

I cant remember if i found another mini on there last time we were there. For some reason 5 rings a bell, but that might have been a different car i counted on there
