I love the beautiful town of Tamworth, the great wooden guitar caught my eye on my dashboard! I can't wait to tell Grant that the BeeGees started their career in Oz! He won't know that one! What blogging does to keep us "staying alive oldies" bright and breezy, hey! Great post as always. Have a good day.

We have a Toe Truck (tow truck) here that is a favorite of mine, and I love to see restaurants or gas stations that are made in the shape of a teapot or boots and a hat. Do you have much of that sort of quirky architecture in Australia?Michele R.

Apparently the beat is exactly the timing you need to do chest compressions on an adult. Good way to remember. So everytime I see that advert now I will remember your reunion in Tamworth!
