Geez, what a small world. Next time you see him, tell him Harry says 'hello'.
I'm thinking of taking the Mustang up there next time I go in about 3 weeks.
Problem is with the mileage I get, I'm looking at 250 - 260 bucks for the return trip from Melbourne verses about 45 if I go by bike.

Born and raised in Casino.NSW lived here all my life and there has only ever been 3 Mustangs in this community and 2 of them were mine.Accounting for the one I have now.

Also born and raised in Casino til I left to come to Queensland in 75.

My dad was the Mayor there for 11 years.

Great place in the late 60s and early 70s.

Hitched out to the Aquarius Festival at Nimbin when I was 16. That was different.

Used to hang around at Bryon and Evans most weekends .

Been around Qld since 75 and now call Underwood and Bribie Island home.

Go the Blues..

Bickleigh Street. But I don't remember it well. Except it was hilly and leafy green. Family have property in High Road still. Have better (clearer) memories of Frankston and Upper Beaconsfield.

As Glenn said - amazing similarity.

Born in Hornsby to a father who was a race car driver /mechanic. He was also a traveller and I went to 27 primary schools and 5 High Schools in NSW, Vic, SA, ACT and WA.

I consider Albany, WA as my "home" town as I was there for 4years.

Moved to the Central Coast in 1984 when aged 15 and been here ever since, now living on a few acres at Jilliby and loving it.

I have the travel bug and my wife and I love taking the kids and the caravan around NSW, WA and Queensland (so far) checking out this beautiful country!

Retiring in 16 years hopefully to do the lap!
