Furiosa Vehicles Update 1 - Stockton to Hay and into space

Lots of tid bits since last time I'll see if it all fits in one page
So we begin the update with a sighting of some bikes being spotted near Stockton in Newcastle very early in the year, Stockton is well known for it's vast sand dunes and interesting thing is there has always been a rumour of scenes from previous movies being filmed around Tin City, a small settlement in the dunes
Rumours suggest there is going to be a lot of motorbikes in this movie........a lot.

A variety of old and new bikes inside this tent, the one on the right
appears to have a cross mounted to it

About the same time a video appeared showing a base camp set up at One Tree near Hay NSW, the entire town was hired out and put on non disclosure contracts so there's was little if nothing apart from some vehicles being shipped out after filming has ended ... it was a great surprise to see some old faces.....


The Gigahorse ! 
                     
The Bigfoot
                                                                  
The Silver Surfer Pole Car

and the Buick !

The appearance of the Gigahorse almost guarantees we will see the Immortan Joe again !A rumour was then spread by the production team that filming wrapped up after constant rain and no filming took place in an attempt to thwart the hard core fans on the hunt for leaks

But we have been watching from the sky.............switching to satellite !
The Nearmap satellite gives us hi res images updated every 2 months giving us 3 updates on the vehicle workshop in Sydney, Australia
At a large industrial site in western Sydney we got a tip off to the big workshop the first pic shows the rear lot filled with goodies like last time !

October 2021 - site filled with parts and cars temporary workshop set up along the western boundary the small tanker and trailer at the bottom centre are almost certainly the ones spotted in Broken Hill in May 2022
(see below)



At this stage I must say, multi million dollar movie and zero tarpaulin budget LOL
Serious there's a Bunnings in every town :|

The next update in imagery was on the 24th Dec 2021 so the site was obviously packed up for Christmas and there wasn't much to see apart from what looks like a tanker under construction in the top of the pic. also one of the stretch limos is gone from the first pic

Dec 2021

The next update gives us a look in April 2022 and shows that most of the small workshops are packed up along the western boundary and the site starting to look a bit sparse , but there is something interesting in the picture .............


Sticking out of the rear of the building is the tanker from Fury Road, there were 2 surviving War Rigs left over and in storage and one went up for auction, this could be either of the 2 or is it a new one ?

April 2022

Looks like I have enough for another page so stay tuned !
