[QUOTE=ELLJAY] I have been to Brisbane last year..........how does it compare?...........well look where I am !!!!

We need to strike up communicating by private email. Send me a pm on what you want to know, what you do for a living and what you like, family members, etc......If you want insight on some new property in this area which in my view is going to be spectacular just pm me........

Hi ......yes that beer we had in the black jug was a long time ago !
Many ups and downs since then.

Glad you are all arrived safe and sound.........how was the vacation in Europe before you left?.

We plan on visiting Mellie one day..........we can fly there from our local airport !

Olibeneli

Hello there !..............yes at the moment we are in Flinders which is bang on Shellharbour really. Soon to move though we hope after a marathon effort trying to find a home we like and can afford and is close to the kids school......we looked at most places from Kiama to Figtree.....must be 40 odd house at least.

I work in W'gong at present and see you are at Uni doing nursing. If you like this music we have a lot in common !.........

What is your situation ?.........perhaps with Hutch in this area now a drink or two should be arranged for us all !!!

Welshie

Yes definitely...Anastasia Beaverhausen is just up the road in thirroul so I'm sure she'll be up for a get together too! Maybe we can sort something out in the near future?

I love Kiama...did you look in Gerringong or Berry too? They're beautiful.

We are currently in the process of house buying too. Want to stay in the Figtree area as I love it and its close to the Uni. Getting bored house hunting though

Anastasia Beaverhausen

I'm not sure I will ever be able to buy up this way though. Way to expensive. We have a cheap rental though, maybe we will stay here forever and sod owning property again

Would love to meet up. The hubby has exactly the same taste in music as you lot, but he is an opinionated sod, so be warned

When did this happen ? ffs !

Olibeneli

It happened on what would have been Bons 60th birthday.

I know a lot about his life and the the whole career of the AC/DC members being a bit of a geek on them.

His death was a tragedy coming just before they hit super big time with the BIB album........but his death was and will always be clouded in mystery. His night of heavy drinking......then left to sleep off his drunken state in a mates car in freezing cold night in south London in January ............some mate.

He was a bit of a tortured soul being away from his wife while touring......evident in the words of Love Hungry Many which I listened to this morning.

enough.

CasG

Thanks for that

Some good news on this......for those rock fans.........

AC/DC frontman's grave to get new plaque
The National Trust of Australia (NTA) plans to replace a plaque honouring former AC/DC frontman Bon Scott that was stolen from Fremantle Cemetery in Western Australia at the weekend.

It has taken 26 years for the gravesite of the late rocker to be listed as a heritage and cultural icon and only five months for the plaque to be stolen.

NTA spokesman Carl Haynes says it is WA's first contemporary listing and needs a plaque.

"We're talking to the cemeteries so in the very near future we'll arrange for them a replacement," he said.

But Doug Thorncroft, from the WA Bon Scott Fan Club, says that is little comfort for the AC/DC fans who made the discovery on what would have been Bon Scott's 60th birthday.

"We didn't notice it at first because there was a pile of love rocks on top of where it should have been, and then we moved them and noticed it was gone," he said.

"Everyone was at first disappointed but then a little bit agro."

Mr Thorncroft says he cannot imagine who would do such a thing.

"It may be somebody that was, who had just a little bit too much to drink on the Saturday night and thought they'd get a souvenir, maybe they're a big fan or it could be somebody with a grudge," he said.

"But yes, it's just so hard to work out who would do such a stupid thing."

The theft has been reported to police.

Rock!! \m/

I am finding salvation in having given up British commercial radio, and simply putting my ipod on random in the car. Get all the best music, none of the syndicated pap / mindless DJs we get here these days. When was the last time you heard a DJ make a constructive comment about a song.. nope.. everything is 'Wicked new single from xxxx" or "Here's the latest brilliant song from xxxx"

I cant wait to get to Melbourne and frequent a country that plays decent music on it's radio stations.

*Gets off soap-box*

I have found the music played here much more to my liking........perhaps Oz really is still 20 odd years behind the UK....stuck in a 80's music mindset.

Come to think of it it must be.........I followed a MkII Ford Escort RS2000 to work today.........not much rust on it but my god......my mate drove one of these when we was 19 and that is a LONG time ago and it wasn't new back then.

No doubt I'll see someone walk around with white socks on soon sporting a Limahl haircut.............WHY do so many Ozzies here think it cool to have a mullet or stupid little pony tail ????...........each to their own I suppose !!

carlosthegerbil

I suppose Mullets are good for keeping the sun off the back of your neck?

and my Dad always told me that you would only ever find one thing under a ponytail....
