Back last month when we were leaving Coober Pedy and heading north, we went past this dude hitching a ride on the side of the road.
He was in his mid forties, slim, tanned and wearing a "G" string...nothing else except a big smile. One arm was raised thumbing a ride and other, also raised carried his 'luggage' which appeared to be a small ladies handbag, maybe carrying a change of clothes.
We were gob-smacked and just looked at each other in amazement....didn't stop but wished we did.
Maybe he is a regular feature of Coober Pedy.
Anyone know?
Regards

He might be walking around OZ Denis as I saw a person that sounds the same one between Townsville and Charters Towers a while back heading in that direction.
I thought I was seeing things. He must have got a lift as he was no where to be seen on way back.

Sounds like it Steve. That or the poor guy has lost the lettuce as well.
Shouldn't joke I spose cos he more than likely has a slight disability.
I didn't see a sign, did you Denis? Maybe he is raising money for something. Just a thought.

Possibly the same guy we saw hitching a ride in Katherine a while back - couldn't believe our eyes - this travelling is interesting in more ways than one!!!!

I haven't seen that bloke, but I did see a naked Barbie Blow Up Doll propped up against a bush in a rest area up north once, not sure if she was hitching a ride......she had been put out to dry I think and someone had driven off and forgotten her (brand new by the look of her).
An ex girlfriend took a pic of me with my arm around the Doll and we left her there......

That was wombats doll Vic. He only was telling the other day he left one leaning against a wall a while back.

Must have got too much for him Doug, so if he can't handle a rubber dolly how is he going to cope with the cousins

In retrospect I wish I had left the ex girlfriend behind and took the doll, the ex girlfriend still has the photo, so goodness knows who she has shown it to over the years......

I don't doubt it Dr Doug! At least you and him have the twins and their cousins to have your photo taken with
That hitchhiker sounds like a strange one Denis, not sure I would want to give him a lift though, too many deep holes around Coober Pedy!
