This is our little family car, reminds me of my black Commodore that we used to drive around. Now I’ve got a grey Commodore. I was going to do a different colour, but I chose pink because pink is my daughter’s favourite colour. In our Commodore we go out bush, get bush honey and cook kangaroo tails, see waterholes. Sometimes I teach my son to drive. I love driving around, listening to music. I love Holden Commodores! Technical assistance provided by Emma Franklin and Lucy Smith.
