Watching a doco made my main roads (now RMS) constructing the Hawksbury River Freeway Bridge in the early 70's, There are 3x clubman police minis a roundie and a morris 1100 crossing the bridge for the first time.

Thanks Danny for putting that up really enjoyed it. Cross that bridge 4 times a day, been under it in the boat plenty of times fished right beside it. Interesting to see how it was made. The minis looked cool to.

I also watched the building of the Western distributor and spotted a few minis.

Nice find. Well done for posting. Shame it isn't in HD so I can get a better view of the Police Minis.

I can remember the bridge being built when I was a kid.

Me too. (... makes me feel rather old now)
