Comf: About cars, trucks and such:
I hear tell they sell them thangs at various places around the country...
Unless they're selling drivers' licences along with them, they ain't much use to me.

Stephanus,
I spoke to ozzie yesterday (he's a sly fox if ever ... ;) All you'll need to do is phone me from the station and myself of someone with more people carrying room 'll be there in 15 minutes. (I have my bush kettle on board but left my hibashi down south :( ... but there are electric bbq's for sacraficing stuff on site :) Looking forward to meeting your flesh.
In relation to the Captn's comment - you can get a drivers licence at Cabrammatta for $100 and cars you can pick up anywhere for free ... now don't get any ideas .. stealing trains is real stupid! ;)
cheers unc
PS: I dropped that little nugget on the carpet and can't find it :( There should be plenty more where that came from

Shows how sheltered an upbringing you've had, UB! It may be stupid, but Boy! Is it fun! (Just ask Ronnie Biggs)

Don't do it Stephanus! That Woolongong coal train ain't carring nuth'n you can sell in a Sydney pub.
Ronnie Biggs... (((shuddder))) I'll never forget the day that thieving pommie bastard terrorized my family ... The very day after we left Adelaide on our way to the 1969 assembly in Melbourne news came out that Biggsy had left Adelaide and was most likely headed east. (how he escaped SA was a miracle and just added to his noteriety - only two main roads out) Anyhow, the police pulled us up just before Murray Bridge and checked our packed station wagon and caravan. Night driving along the Coorong dad scared the daylights out of my younger sisters by pointing to a light way behind and spinning a yarn that it was Bigsy. My sisters, mother and I were all pretty scared ... then he slowly pulls the car to a halt in the middle of nowhere ... it was a dark night and as he got out mum says "what are you doing?" ... "I gotta water the horse" says Dad ... as he walks away mum (a fastidious city girl) insists he do his watering just a few feet from the car.
Dad gets back in and I ask "do you really think it could be Bigsy?" Dad gives me a wink, I feel a huge surge of relief and on we go ... the light gradually gets closer ... the girls looking behind giving us a running commentry and urging dad to speed up... Joanne (about 8 years old and known to be the demons favorite victim) starts getting hysterical ... Dad slows down, the girls are going nuts, Mum looks daggers at Dad ... and a motorbike zooms past. Dad gets the biggest grin and Mums look turns to pouting disgust .... (was that Bigsy on a Kwaka 1000?)
... not another word is mentioned about bigsy ... the night has bigger things to fear ... after a brief stop at the Tananoola pub Dad starts on about the legends of Tantanoola Tiger ... how people started locking their houses for the first time and kept guns by their beds lest the beast get a taste for human flesh ... we lock the car doors just in case it can outrun a Ford with Caravan in tow and work the door handles at 50 miles/hour ..... (ah Dad could spin a yarn ....well .. he was a Malley boy - Lameroo born and bred ;)
cheers, unclebruce
PS: Old Ronnie Biggs worked as a chippy in Adelaide on larger building sites like "The Royal Coach" motor inn ... don't mention it to the staff - they're still a bit touchy about it. ;)
