NSWP

Pie Day Friday at Ampol, Batemans Bay, $2 for the Traveller Pies. Nice display eh?

Like a Gladstone bag, blokes used to take to work? I remember those from the 60's and 70's.

Yep, takes me back to ye olde days. Chasing the rogues around the Rocks and up and down ye olde Argyle Cut. No City Extra around back then for a feed and drink.

Dont get Rod upset again, lol.

Crikey you Canucks live well, no Vegemite Sangas in the work lunchroom over there. Good stuff Lyle.

The word Port for Portmanteau..suitcase is in the Australian/Queensland dictionary but not in the Oxford Concise Dictionary which is the proper King’s English. God Save The King.! 🤴🏻 ,

I think the residents of Wollongong and Port Kembla would prefer a cruise ship terminal rather than a nuclear powered submarine base. Big dramas down there if Federal Govt pursues the sub base at Port Kembla. Having worked down there I can tell you the Illawarra is controlled by the trade unions. They will fight the Govt re the Subs.

And in NSW your port is your suitcase. Your sky rocket is your pocket. Your Julius Marlowes are your shoes. And so it goes on in the Strayan Vernicular.😀

Indeed, I like Bag of Fruit…suit.

Great reporting by Jo.

Do you have a big van ?

I reckon 99% Aussies and Kiwis.

When I was there last September on Coral Princess, the Myki counter was right inside the cruise terminal hall..

We await the VLOGER’s rolling out their stuff. Most still unpacking I suppose. 🧳

it appears that spider arrived in Railway Sleepers from Sydney in 1924. Descendant of the Huntsman. I get one or two down here, out with ye old can of kreepy krawler killer, get them spiders. 🕷️

Officially started in Brisvegas today? I thought it started in Auckland last week or Sydney on Sunday. Stu do not believe anything those Queenslanders tell you, they win a State of Origin Rugby League game and claim the world cruise as well 👹

Thanks Linda, but I am struggling, most days I am a shot duck, side effects of the cancer meds according to Oncologist. This site cheers me up no end.

Cool here today, 12C, gf sausage roll and sauce is the order for today.

In Melbourne the Immigration Museum and the Victoria Police Museum are worth a look. I am a museum freak.

Morning young Lyle…oh yes back in the 70’s at Wollongong, riding the motorcycle up McQuarie Pass, Robertson Pie shop was always the place to be for a hot 🥧 and coffee when it was 0 degrees. But then Coeliac hit me in 2010 and I was a shattered man . Not easy to find a decent gf pie. Sometimes I drive 45 minutes to Haydens at Ulladulla for a hot gf pie and pick up half a dozen frozen ones for “Ron”, lol. You know, later on…ron.lol. They are great, albeit $8 a pie.

Woolies and Coles have some of those items all the time. International Foods Section. HP sauce is now made in Holland.

Over the years been to Robertson Pies, Haydns at Ulladulla, Tilba, Heatherbraes , Yatala, Freddos and many, many more. 🥧

Tis not the ships laundry nor on board launderettes that shrink ones clothes on a cruise, tis the buffets🤣 or perhaps the sea air? I must get some of those laundry sheets, then I could pretend I am on a cruise, you know the fragrance and all.

Uncle Carl loves a 🥧 being a Queenslander, great pies in Qld.
