Default Interesting

The tree does look like a Eucalypt of some kind ... the antenna appears to be a top loaded vertical. The capacity hat ( the radials) on the top are there to make the antenna radiate more ground wave e.g., sideways than sky wave .

Looks like a faint RAAF on the door ....

HU vehicles are very rare here ... I know of less than 5 .

Default Mysteries

I love a good mystery. Looking at the pic I notice the absence of an Australian ARN on the front shell. I'm not convinced about the 'eucalyptus' either.
The fact the pic was originally sent from Australia doesn't necessarily mean it was taken here of course.

Keith..
Can't be taken in Australia..there would be a herd of hoons in the picture...
CMP drivers in Canada...

For the non Australia speakers....

Translation..

The term "hoon" has obtained a semi-official use in Australia, with police and Governments referring to legislation targeting anti-social driving activity as "anti-hoon laws". The term has even begun to appear in the titles of legislation, for example the Transport Legislation Amendment (Hoon Boating and Other Amendments) Act 2009 of the State of Victoria.

No Problem..
What would you like it translated to...??

Spanish..??
los yobbos tenían un bingle en su ute.

Italian,...??
i yobbos hanno avuti un bingle nel loro ute.

Dutch..??
yobbos hadden een bingle in hun Ute.



Or if you want it in good old North American English,,,...

BINGLE = A car accident ... UTE = Utility truck ... YOBBO = name given to a drunken idiot ...

Probably a billylid driving..drove in a billabong..looking for for a feed of brown-eyed mullets..!!




(For Lizzies 60th anniversary,her and Phil are staying home...they are sending Chuck and Camzilla to Canada...I don't know who is going to Oz..but we'll trade you..and throw in 50 gallons of maple syrup and 20 pounds of moose nuts..to boot..
Wanna trade..?
