Obviously was an aussie, but didn't say anything. His wife was writing a post card but she was saying loudly that she could not remember the address but new they lived in Bacchus Marsh. My ears pricked up and I had to say "Bacchus Marsh I live there". They said do you know the BLAH BLAH'S and I said not only do I know them I'll also give you their address. Postcard mailed successfully. Never know who you'll meet. Lined up in a queue for Disneyland the bloke in front listening to the AFL Grand final. Obviously was an aussie, but didn’t say anything.

It was my old 4 wheelin buddy from Sydney who has recently moved up the far north coast. He was staying in the motel right next to ours. We did a disneyland & Universal Studios before we had to head off in different directions.

Travelling Melbourne to Newcastle to introduce New Wife to Father. Stopped for a look at Jenolan Caves. While queueing for a cave tour, I felt Call of Nature. Wife waited in queue while I attended Gents. When I returned she whispered to me "The man in front of us looks just like a younger version of your father's photo." It was my 10-years-older cousin, whose wife was answering similar Call. Hadn't seen them for 8 or 9 years... Small village indeed. Sorry I have not been checking your blog regularly. Looks like you're having fun. But COME BACK SOON! ;-) 1976. Travelling Melbourne to Newcastle to introduce New Wife to Father. Stopped for a look at Jenolan Caves.

Be very careful sending your vehicle to Singapore. It will be a drug smugglers dream. If it were my car, I would not let it out of my sight. Go with it or avoid Singapore completely. The hangman makes no allowances for ex legal practitioners or radio personalities! Good luck Joe Dear Jon

On holiday in London, peak hour in one of the major Tube stations - it might have been Victoria. I was halfway down one of those very long escalators packed with people, and glanced across at the mass of faces on the corresponding up-escalator. A work colleague from three desks away in Melbourne! We locked eyes, called each other's name... and of course could do nothing more. OK, here’s mine.
