I'd say Waikerie.
That's the Waikerie Boomerang and Blanik also. I flew both but not the SH-1.
About the HQ. The sedan had actual coil springs on the solid rear
axle rear suspension. When my brother in law and I drove to Adelaide
in late 1972 to pick up my Salto from Gawler we were still on the
dirt road west of Penong when early in the morning we saw a car
approaching ahead. It then suddenly turned 90 degrees and stopped in
a cloud of dust. We stopped to render assistance and were told the
near new car had "broken one leaf in the rear springs" back a bit
further. So much for the GM advertising of the coil spring
suspension. In fact the bolt out of the front of the trailing arm on
one side had fallen out and the trailing arm fell on to the road
until it encountered a rock which twisted the rear axle out of the vehicle.
We stopped in Penong a couple of kilometers further on and summoned
aid. Yes children, there were no cellphones in those days.
