    Hi

    I found a picutre of the sea witch bonnet.
    I also found this link from a torana website, which someone ask about the van, they talk about the sea witch.
    Even notice byron get a mention here, about someone writing a book.
    I got a funny feeling there is another guy writing a book about panel van in the 70's.

    Interesting to check out

    Here is another photo, I understand this was a copy of the original van at Dreamworld wipeout ride area sometime ago (I think some year's ago).
    Found this on the website link.

    It was simply made for the brochure and for display. Just a one off. The guy that signwrote it only died recently, there is a web page about his work. I can't remember his name though.
    I think the one that was a Dreamworld was also originally mounted nose downwards up above the entry to the beer garden at the western end of Cavill Mall in Surfers Paradise.

    this was on Facebook today, I asked the question, and was told yes, and it was found in a paddock looking like this, and had been stolen, thoughts anyone, the bloke looks funny but I think he may have been touched up.

    would need to see it in the flesh really.

    The original photo of the seawitch had a white pin stripe around the door this one doesn't, possibly the pin stripe was a sticker and been removed?

    I think they are saying it's the dreamworld van, not sea witch.

    Judging by the rust I'd say that's definately the SeaWorld van.
