Last week I was working over on Fraser Island up at Orchid Beach (I do Floor Sanding). I've been there a few time in recent years and down at the Waddy Point camp ground these two little relics are always there. Caught up with the rangers on this trip and found out that they belong to a local resident who just shifts them every six weeks and always pays his fees. never seen the guy though. He aparently is in his 80s and owns a nice holiday house that is usually always rented out. When its rented he stays in these.....

Hey Matt
Nice pics. The owner may have some sentemental value to them hence they are still in his custody. We are on the road and have seen some interesting things. Just gotta get the wife to snap some pics as we cruise past.

This reminds me of one of my fave millionaires (billionare in todays terms and spending power) This nice but a bit cranky guy was always in a dirty white singlet and work shorts (King gee stubbies as it were the 70s) Henry was always hands on with his projects and helped finance many others for mates, he would more often than not be helping load bricks on a conveyer or shovelling sand & stone into a cement mixer, his beaten up mis 1960s Falcon again nothing to show off about. He did however own nearly 3 suburbs of home units, near TedAlly`s way and created an early industrial park in Sydneys South West almost a decade before it became ä "thing". Just another "reffo" from Egypt arriving in Aus and hard work as a cleaner and a boss who lent him a few quid to buy a house for his wife and family of 6 kids in the early 1960s became a bit lucky but hated waste, unlike todays gold credit card frenzied show offs. NOTE: Henry survived 3 credit squeezesa recession then made a gazillion in his last few years by not over borrowing so he could pay cash during the Asia crisis fire sales.
