Australia Day Golf at Wardell Recreational Grounds



Just back from golf at the Wardell Sporting Recreational and Golf Club.A great morning starting with an 8$ big breakfast and finishing with a few beers.
A great little club with a 9 hole course set up "around" the existing sporting fields so footy goal posts can become a man made hazard but then again a "friendly bounce" off the concrete cricket pitch balances this out. Photos added to the "golf" album as usual .

North Coast Street Machines 2010 Ballina


Spent a few hours this morning in Ballina at the 2010 North Coast Street Machines Show and Shine car show . Not really a Hot Rod show as motor vehicles covered all facets and had a lot of fun with my cameras. Haven't been to a show like this since Bankstown Square in Sydney about 30 years ago . I will add captions to some of the photos later , but a lot of memory joggers for ANY baby boomers. Triple SUs , panel vans , pommie blowers on little cars , no not turbos !!!!! big block big buck stuff and the right background music from the DJ .

Stuff the doofs doofs and turboed Jap stuff ...... OOPs , showing my age pops !

As usual photos can be viewed and copied (by clicking on the link below) on PhotoBucket and make sure to enlarge them BEFORE you copy . Yes dear !

2010 Great Eastern Fly In Evans Head Aerodrome



Just back from Evans Head Aerodrome watching part of the Fly In. This year is the 70 th anniversary since its usage in WW2. Seemed a very well organised event with additional stands ,vintage cars , rides on assorted planes and ultralights etc .

Ill stick to fighting off B doubles on the Pacific Highway on my bike . Got motion sickness trying to keep up with the aerobatics plane with my camera while standing on the ground !!!.

I have put the photos on Photobucket so anyone can copy them if they wish . Click on the "Photos Here" link below.

Note : The album includes the motor car photos we spoke about.
