As I lay there looking up, taking in the spectacular view that was the night sky and the multitude of stars I asked myself, where did my tent go?

I cant remember what I was doing last week let alone 40 years ago LOL
but 77 years ago I was getting ready to pop out.
I would have been getting ready to start year 9 at school. Was a bit different back then, no computers or mobile phones but I did have one of these.

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.
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.

You were spoilt, my bike was a hand me down that both my older brothers had prior.
My dad was driving a HQ station wagon with 3 on the tree, I learnt to drive in it.
Probably in a bus on the way to school in Athens..... Either that or having sea urchin spines removed from the soles of me feet...... Lots of sea urchins over there you know
