Hey AJ
hey glen, sounds like a plan l'll meet a few of them on saturday and see what we can come up with, l met a bloke from Toora the other day where l used to live and he's opened up a sort of bike/car memorabilia cafe, l'll ride up there on Saturday aswell and check it out it would be about an hour and half solid ride from dandenong but he can cater from morning teas to private functions so l think it might be worth a look, and the south gippie hwy's a good little road to putt along

Hey AJ
i came from binginwarri, and went to school in yarram, we had a farm on wonyip hill and another leasd property on tap tap rd, you might have even picked up our milk as we supplied the unigate factory in toora. dad also worked on the rigs for a while, but im not sure which one he was on. i have never cone back there since moving away, but would love to go back to have a look. no i wouldnt live there again either, its a s*@t hole compared to up here.

Hey AJ
yep l drove for unigate, l started on the snapper rigg and worked on the following five until the end, it would be good to speak to your dad because just about everyone l worked with there are now dead, l got a bit paranoid about it for awhile , seemed like l was going to someones funeral every six months but l was only 18 when l started and a lot of them a bit older..talk about small world, l hav'nt been back since l left either , so l'll find out tomorrow what its like

Hey AJ
in case you are good with names, my dads name is milton hitchins, he is easily recognised as he has a bad speech imparement that makes him hard to understand. it dosent stop him loving a chat though.

Hey AJ
the name dos'nt ring a bell, but l'm useless remembering them l'd probably reconise his face though, having a speach prob down there was nothing ,there was some pretty hard core nutters working there from all over the globe, l think about 300 during the peak,it was one of those never do again jobs, l remember driving around in the floods near binginwarry behind yarram in the tanker with flood water over the headlights at night...had the heart going for awhile :)

Hey AJ
yeah i remember doing the same in a school bus, especially that little bridge across billy creek, you wouldnt be able to do that these days. it didnt take much for the creeks to flood.
that area is full of nutters but i think most of it is due to birth defects.... its hard when your mums your sister and your dads your uncle........... its all strange up in those hills |
