Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, 1960

I know we have quite a few Australians among our audience, so today’s carspotting photo is just for you. We came across this photo of a parking lot at a government office, taken sometime in 1960, on the National Archives of Australia’s Flickr stream, and while it’s not huge, it does have plenty of cars, utes, and vans to identify. What do you see here, and why does it seem that far more people liked to fancy park here than in most other parking lot carspotting photos we run?
