[motto]

The yard has been there for as long as I can remember and being right alongside highway 31 (Melbourne to Sydney) until the town was bypassed some years ago everyone knew about it.
The main reason the stuff is still there is that the original owner had a reputation for being abusive and difficult to deal with. Most likely because he was abusive and difficult to deal with. To put a kindly spin on it, possibly this was due to him being sick and tired of tyre kickers/time wasters.
Apparently the obstacle has been removed as eventually happens in these cases.
I have too much stuff myself so will not be there.
Sudden thought! Perhaps I'm difficult to deal with?
