Cool pics of that old servo, from the old bakerlite switches looks like they dispensed Ampol & Shell back in the day. Awesome 😎
A day in the shed beats a day at work!

Yeah it was a beauty- would be a great retirement project restoring it Image I need another project……. ImageImageImage
Lazy day yesterday, wandered up and down the Main Street, went to a second hand shop that was asking drug money for everything, had lunch with Dave Beers in the 50’s style burger place in town then went to a cheese tasting and a winery/ distillery and then out for dinner with some old and new friends

This was the only interesting thing at the second hand shop

Burgers were good

Usual story- too busy socialising to do a Nats update ImageImage
Friday was bloody FREEZING ImageImageImage we had to take the girls to the Christmas tree farm and they took about an hour and a half to look at it all Image Lindsay and I had to sit outside and wait - until Gazza saved us , he and Sue had booked a table at the brewery for lunch so off we went -

Forgot - first thing Friday morning we went past the historical groups shed and there were a few of them in there so we stuck our heads in - the first Friday of each month they do a breakfast, unfortunately we were too late but we had a quick look around
