I took this photo approx 10 years ago at Bundarra. Yeoelevens post back a bit reminded me of it. This old guy had been travelling around the New England area back roads, for years, with his two draught horses. He had lights etc on the wagon to be legal. I wonder if anyone has come across him. -- Edited by was...

Got the cruiser ( Black Beauty) back yesterday, have run up 200 odd kms around here and all seems well. The auto transmission needs specialist attention, and will get that done in Melbourne. The garage doing the change over charged more than I expected, but at least it is finished. The old motor is pac...

Lovely drive between Dubbo and Orange on the Mitchell Highway, not too hilly with beautiful green vistas and not too much traffic. After 300kms I arrived here by 1pm but I did set off at 7am and had lunch at Macca's in Orange. Last time going to Geen's lake I went down the Newell via Parkes and Forbes. This...

Hanging with BlondesThere were nine blondes and a brunette hanging of a rope 100 stories high. They had decided that one of them had to get off. They argued and argued and finally the brunette said ''I'll go.''The brunette made a touching speech and all the blondes clapped.

I've done a quick search and couldn't find any info on this subject. Occasionally, I pull into a park and am always charged the same amount as for two people. Why is this so? Today, thinking about my recent trip, I found a caravan park receipt showing, under how many people staying overnight,...

It's in NSW. about 145 K's north east of Dubbo. A friend of mine told me to be sure to stop in at the local caravan park, when next travelling NSW. I thought, Yea, it will be as flat as a pancake, treeless and have no character at all ! Well, was I wrong. It is in a beautiful valley, with a delightful little town...
