Well I haven't had any luck over the last 2 months in touching base with any body who lived or had a connection with Wyndham West Aust back in the 1940s . So I will wind the calendar forward to about 1950 to 1960. Are there any people out there that had an association with the Scarborough Boys back in those days. A gang of teenagers that were not very organised but new how to have a bit of fun. Like jump the fence to get into Claremont Speedway for free, or do the same at the Scarborough picture gardens or take a 5 Gallon keg of Swan Larger up into the sand hills behind Triggs Surf club and make a mess of ourselves.
I will rattle off a few names and see if it rings a bell with anybody, even maybe your father.
There was :::Harry Lloyd, Rod McPherson, Bruce and George Wylie, Ted Prout, Choco a Ceylonese boy, Dennis Butco and his Brother, (Dennis had a 1938 Ford Vee 8)
Rod Buttel and his Brother, Phillip Norton (Pipsy), John O'Byrne , (Sprocket) who died in a mining accident at Marvel Lock. Ian Woodhouse, (Cluster) who died when he crashed his bike near the Subiaco Train station.
Ray Williams, who was the first person to get 20 years for murdering his wife, after Hanging was banned in West Aust. Ray was a sign writer at the time and went onto artistic painting and I believe had a few exhibitions in Fremantle Jail.
OK, if none of that rings a bell, I must be the last one standing or at least close to that.
This has tested my Memory Box to the limit.
Simmo................A 1952 Triumph Tiger 100, with Sprung Hub rear suspension and, all Alloy engine.
