Her ARN is 134804 and this is a pic in Goulburn on the trip south - it was pumping rather a lot of oil out the rear main seal the whole trip back, leaving a nasty mess on service station forecourts each fuel stop.

G'day Keith,

I grew up in Goulburn and I remember when the Governor's Hill Servo was exactly like it shows in the photograph. I did not live too far from it and frequently rode my pushbike around there. Jeeze the photo certainly brings back a lot of memories that I had since forgotten about. Off to the right of the photo in the foreground there is a big shed that used to be Kermac engineering shop (you can see it just above the sign for 24 hour windscreens). The shed was at the back of my primary school. It was where I played on my first CMP as a kid in the early 70's and it was an old crane truck. Back in 1976 when the photo was taken I was in Mulwaree high school. The high school was just out of the shot - but not too far as the crow flies from the servo.

I wonder how much the servo's heavy recovery truck would be worth now?

Kind Regards
Lionel
