Love the first pic - all that rust against the moss and the living plant.

That's native, Totara I hope it is left to grow.
I would love to see in another 100years.
That bolt is circa 1890's

It was a cultural icon here in the 70's and early 80's
Not too many survivors around these times sadly.
Some where made with packing crates and recycled corrugated iron.

Fond memories of camping trips.
We had a Commer as well but I don't really remember it.
