Ah memories!! When I was growing up in Perth, Western Australia, I just LOVED being taken for a "burn" into town at night, in my big brother's hotted-up Ford Zephyr - we used to win quite a few Drags before the cops came along!!! These were the long-ago days before there was a Mall in Hay Street (damned shopping malls ruined a lot of good hooning and blocking, eh?!)On another note, I'd like to suggest that the Aussies could add some data to the thread I started on April 21st called "Folk in Eastern Australia" (sorry, need a link-pixie to do that thang) - if you've got a Club or Folk Night e.g. - or whatever you like ...
Re other Oz 'Catters : Stewie is of course from Darwin, likewise occasional poster, Tony in Darwin - and John in Brisbane is fairly self-evident too ...
