2 years ago, on the way back from
Darwin to
Adelaide, we stayed overnight at the near-empty
Wycliffe Well CP in the middle of nowhere. A 60ish fella and his sister pulled in next to us "because we were South Aussies". Anyway, after talking to them for a while we found out that my wife and I had both taught his grandson at our local high school, and I had bought BP racing fuel from this guy in the late 1960s! They live about 2km from us.
Indeed it is a small world.

Some years ago my wife & I stopped our harleys at the border of the N/Territory & wanting a photo of us together in front of the border sign we went & asked a fellow biker if he would take a photo for us.We then took off our helmets as he also did & bugger me if it wasn,t my first cousin from Qld whom I had not seen for 25 years !
