Doesn't really matter, Jase, but he's the type of bloke to share the fun.

Hi Bruce, where's the registration form? I want to send my registration fee in.
Man this is going to be one fun trip down memory lane   .

I'm too young to know anything about it, but was it Bimbo's Roadhouse at Bargo ???

Scanned for my 1956 Road transport index

Any others in that list that ring a bell???

Yeah Cam  sort of makes a bloke feel guilty going to work now  with all the mod  cons.

But what a way to wake up in the morning......straight under the cold shower at ... what ... about 2-3 degrees or so  hehe.

The hot might also double as the cold  if they had a hot water heater like ours, 2 showers and it's all gone.

I remember it being further back as well, I can't really recall the look of the place 40 year ago, but one evening I pulled in with a load of masonite from Bacchus Marsh, Victoria, I was driving a red, bonneted MAN, got my food and sat at a table near another fella, I remember the noise of the chair moving over floor tiles echoing in the room, he said you driving the MAN, I said yes and he said I passed you past Yerinbool, when I was following you round the bends, on the right handers there was daylight under the offside back tyres, it turned out when I got the curtains off in Sydney I saw the load had slid the over the full length of the trailer to the lowside. I travelled to Sydney with the other driver who had a Leyland Mastiff with a Michigan on his trailer.  Both trucks had been parked at the front of Bimbos with loads of room for others, so the memory of it beng further back remains.    

scummy thanks for the pics but sadly that is not bimbos jimbo an olebugger were right it was much futher of the road- so are you gonna come along???
