Greetings PDs' I'll type slowly coz I know some of you don't read too well!

As a kid I played & worked in Port Adelaide on the Ulonga, a converted  sister to the Pevensy, & the other Ketches at the old CSR wharf. Didn't have a camera in those daze.
skip to the SE asian war games (we got second place) skip more
Got older (never grew up tho :D ) now play with trains & subs & boats all r/c of course, made a few steam engines.
 Did the usual stuff work marriage kids etc look after MIL & don't enjoy the saw joints nature has provided.

Have a mate on the Murray who had his own PWheeler which he used to sail on the river around MBridge
WIP. pevensy, ulonga, a gato, an ijn I-400 & a type VII sub. Only 10 more lifetimes req to finish them.

Typical Oz,

Looking for beer at ten in the morning. Must be a load of alkies. :beer

It is the only place in the world where you boast about and are proud of your forbears criminal past, everywhere else you would try to keep it a secret :angel  :angel

He has admitted to being australian but it is not such a problem these days, I am sure you can get medicine for that without a prescription!
