Originally yes, but I only admit to it when pressed.  I've lived in Wollongong for 18 years and I think I'll be here for a while yet.:fingers:

Same here.:omg:

I've been up north now for 36 years.
My father used to own a waste oil disposal business and one of his contracts was supplying fuel oil to Bulli Brickworks.
He also used to oil down Oran Park and Amaroo prior to race meetings when they were still dirt racetracks.I remember riding with him a few times when I was a kid.
Was born in Bankstown,went to Condell Park primary School and then Parramatta High School.
I can remember Parramatta speedway on Parramatta Rd.
Last time I was in Sydney was about 3yrs ago.I was taken down by Hitachi Construction Machinery for the launch of their latest model excavators.There was abt 200 of us from all over Australia.
They hired out Luna Park and we got to dig holes in Luna Park.
Wouldn't be too many people who could say they've dug up Luna Park:lol:

Still in Sydney, grew up in next suburb to you, Punchbowl. I use to work on the Lions Club Chocolate Wheel at Bankstown station Saturday mornings when I was 15 (1966) to earn a bit of pocket money, $2 for 3 hours. Small world hey, my ex-wife (Lyn Costin) grew up in Fouth Ave Condell Park & went to Condell Park High & primary, she'd be 55 now.
