i was 7 and would have been up at Lake Eildon at the Caravan and would have been doing some water skiing and motorbike riding on a mates XR75. We'd go there ever other weekend and it was great. the days before Time Share resorts on the Weir and everyone was having a great time. I was in about grade 2 and Moved house about then too.. Away from my friends from birth into a new suburb and new friends. Back when the Outer East was still Croydon which was still farm land! Roville did not exist and the Freeway finished at Doncaster! Pentridge Prison was still open and we'd have to skirt around it to get onto Sydney Rd because the Hume was still a Goat track that started beyond Kalkalo.
The neighbour across the road had just got the first Colour TV in the street and all the kids would gather there to watch Batman and Robin in colour! The Grass was SOOOOOO GREEN!!!
My bicycle was a Malvern Star Dragster with a Tbar gear shift and a big Far koff Sissy bar! Livin in the 70s was Kool! Dad drove a HQ Panel Van and mum drove an EH Wagon which we owned from New.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!
....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!
Check out my Toy -->

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Roofy was 26yrs old living in Queensland. He was a station hand on a property in central Queensland. Bit of droving, stock mustering and riding wild horses. Living rough out of his swag and riding bulls in rodeos. That's why he suffers a bit these days bodywise. Can tell lots of tales about those days.

My dad was driving a HQ station wagon which he had from new. It was his company car and doubled as the school bus for our street, could get a dozen kids in easily. He bought it off the company and kept it for years and I got to learn to drive in it.

I am he, fear me
Water Skiing on the Hawkesbury River.
This I know 'cause that was all we did for years... finish work on the Friday arvo, launch the boat, grab the sheilas and the beer, set up on the Ski Beach and ski from dawn to dusk until it was either Sun night or the money ran out for more fuel and beer
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
