Ptooheys old and Chinese dinner at the RSL with the Beales, Montgomerys, Thompsons and old mate Pete who accompanied Elle and I in his Hiace, enroute Maitland and Maroochydore for the annual pilgrimage to the Alexandra Headland Malibu surfing classic. Entering a Coopers drought…..

What happened to the wagon? Do I see a length of brake pipe on the ground there?

Hey Trev, she went to Temora last year as well. 3000km and did not miss a beat. I remember you telling us you took it to Renmark.
