Hi Everyone,
OKA OWNERS GROUP (PUTTING PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT FIRST)
NEWSLETTER August 2005
It was great to see Jim and Julie Curtin back in June, who were brought here by their almost brand new, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed son, who is taking them on an educational outback camping trip. He sits in the middle of the back seat where he can keep a close eye on both of them, and see that there is no shannegans going on up front, and remind them when its smoko or comfort stop time. Good stuff! I bet they have learned heaps, and there should be more of it. We send our apologies to Jim & Julie for not being more hospitable. There was a rush on here, trying to get the paperwork completed by the end of the financial year with a new computer and the usual hiccups, before we left on July 1. We would have loved to spend more time with them. We will be very sure to start travelling a little later in the future!
We did get going on July 1, and bumped into Rod & Kate Cock in Broken Hill as they were returning from their travels in their Oka. We were to have met up with John & Dianne Smithard in Port Augusta but they were forced to pull out at the last minute with work commitments. Dianne said she had the Oka mostly packed and ready to go. Just as well, John, you would have been weatherbound at Warburton; it was pretty wet there and they closed the roads. The $1000 per tyre fines that are imposed for driving on closed roads tends to make people stop! And just as well too, as those roads are probably only graded once a year, if at all.
We called in on Russell & Simone Conklin at Eucla as we went through. Russell spends his time driving dozers and graders on the desert roads and is a great source of information on what to see, where to camp and which tracks to take. We came across an abandoned car near Madura, which was carrying NSW number plates: it looked a bit suspicious, with the keys in the ignition, and wallet, small change, pullover and mobile phone left on the seat, and doors wide open. We notified the authorities (with some difficulty, as they were so far away); it turned out that the owner was listed as a missing person, had a psychological problem, and was found lying in the middle of the highway, waiting to be run over. He was taken to Kalgoorlie Hospital and was reported to be doing well.
We ended up leaving the main Highway about 10km east of Cocklebiddy and went north to Haig on the railway line, then west to Rawlinna. There was much work being carried out on this last piece of road, as they were trying to stabilize the bulldust and repair the damage done in wet weather. We then travelled on the Connie Sue and explored Waterfall Gorge before turning back along the Parallel Road to the Great Central Road. Here it started to drizzle and by the time we reached the Tjukayirla Roadhouse and done a load of washing the rain had set in. They closed the roads and there we stayed in some comfort for a couple of days. As there had been big rains along our proposed track, we decided not to sit around for a couple of weeks waiting for it to hopefully dry, but to give the plan away, as it might rain again.
1
Anyway we headed for Kalgoorlie, where we discussed the proposed National gathering with Robin Wade. We decided that with people stuck all over the West, it would be better to call it off until next year. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused. Robin promised that if anyone turned up he would look after them. If you are looking for Robin Wade in Kalgoorlie, you will find him right next to the railway station. I think there is a reason for that – if he has to leave town in a hurry he can catch one of the many freight trains that leave in both directions (you know these motor dealers...)
On the way home at Norseman we came across Alan and Trish Payne, from Baird Bay in SA. Funny how you run across these people when you least expect it. They weren’t even driving their OKA! It was great to talk with them. Anyway we had a good run home, and the part of the trip that we did complete this year we enjoyed so much that we will probably go back again next year. Feel free to tag along if you’d like. Robin is hoping to organize a guest speaker for us next year to talk about running the OKA on a shandy of diesel and gas, which makes them a lot more economical and gives an increase in power. Sounds interesting! Hope to see you at the OKA gathering next year in Kalgoorlie.
Please note that we have had our share of computer troubles. We put the newsletter on a disk and sent it to Rowena, but our problems meant that she was unable to retrieve it, so she got hold of a hard copy that was mailed to one of our non-computer members and transcribed it and put it on the Oka Owners Group Website. We now have a brand new computer that can do all kinds of things that we can’t, a satellite dish that provides us with Broadband, and also a new email address, l_mparsons@esat.net.au . Please let us know if you haven’t seen the May/ June edition and we will send it off to you.
This newsletter will probably be pretty thin, as members don’t expect us to be home yet, but we are looking forward to some more contributions. In particular, we are trying to put together a list of parts for the Oka that you have sourced from other types of vehicles, if possible with supplier and part number, and maybe price. We know that Oka built these machines using readily available parts, and it is often quicker and easier to source these locally. Please put pen to paper or send us an email to share your experiences.

The Overlander Story:
On our way home we pulled in to the service station in Yunta - the one on the Western side of the road. Fuel is a good deal cheaper here than in Broken Hill, so it is a good place to refuel, as we know it will just get dearer as we get closer to home. Anyway, the proprietor came out to serve us and as usual Lloyd got into conversation
with him. He was interested in the Oka, and had a good look at it, then showed us his
2
vehicle, an Overlander ute., made in Tasmania under licence from Holden back in 1970’s, based on the Kingswood. This vehicle was in immaculate condition, and had done upteen thousands of kilometers. He tried to sell it to us, but not very hard, as it is obviously his pride and joy.
Apparently the Overlander Motor Company built and sold 120 of these under the Holden badge. Like the Oka they were a tough and beefy machine with 4WD, and you could choose either front of rear drive. The owner reckons they will go anywhere. Then came vehicle number 121, which was due for the “crash test” – you know the one where they had to drive at a brick wall at ??kph and the vehicle was supposed to crumple from the bonnet back? Well the Overlander apparently not only survived this test more or less intact, but demolished the brick wall. The result was that they went out of business.
That might sound like the end of the story, but this man claims that when the business closed down, they sold off all the parts and tools, and the running gear was sold to some people from WA. He told us there were sufficient units to build about 400 machines. These people were the ones who had designed another 4WD vehicle – yes, it was the Oka. We are unable to confirm this story, but did look up the Internet, and found the specifications of the Overlander, and it is possible. It just shows that you meet some interesting people when you travel in an Oka.
