Cool Y2K saw it at the GC dub club show this year

Are signs OG?

What is the story behind the bus and co-op?

Thanks.
Yeh signage is original. My understanding is that the district co-op was sort of like a rotary group, they'd do odd jobs for the community. Some heavy shit was carried inside, possibly ceasing its ability in the early 70's when the Co-op went into receivership . Somehow ended up on a German guys (Ernie) farm for 40+yrs, along with quite a few others, then bought by Ron in Glen Innes. I found them (7) and eventually convinced him to sell one. I believe I could be the second registered owner. Paul and Sam then found out about the others two years later.
I think I fluked uploading a pic...trying to show the line up
