bongo re peter swane kw nth dubbo

heading out of dubbo on the newell back then towards gil

I ended up with a bogie jaymor tippin trailer back then and was doin a bit for grove truck sales so they tipped me into a repo 3070 pretty cheap I got 1-2 nights a week
takin spent brewery grain to a feed lot at Canowindra and pebbles out of cowra back and I ran across that r200 a few times between Bathurst n Lithgow , it would go the front road and I was allways fat so up scenic and down bells line . I would hit the hair pin at the bottom of scenic in 3rd middle box in the 15 r/r and as the bogie bit into the corner ide grab 2nd deep! it was a long climb to the top but no matter how much boondie I had on that 903 loved that sprocket!!!
