Hi Joel, and welcome to the forum

Yes, Welcome to MySwag

I was born in Albury back in 1950 at the Base Hospital, see I'm human too

Used to ride my billycart down the Mercy Hospital hill, Kiewa Street, from the top, down to the bottom, past the cross road (Cowper Street) that goes into the hospital and stop in the paddock at the bottom of the hill.

I lived in Nathan Avenue in those days. If I had kids that did that now I would be horrified and want their parents charged with neglect

In those days everything was somehow 'different' and a billycart was made for going down hills in the middle of the road, as I don't remember a footpath in those days.

Now I'm showing my age and lack of ....

G'day from the tropics and welcome to the forum Joefish. How great that you have a camper trailer - we have our first on order - have been tent campers for decades and can't wait to experience camping with a ct.
Enjoy your time on the forum - lots of very helpful, friendly members here.
Cheers,
Sharyn

Hi Joel and welcome aboard. It appears we have a few members in this area,I'm in Wangaratta, perhaps we should try to organise a local get together somewhere to showoff our ct and have a chinwag, and a couple of drinks one weekend.

Jeeeze Mainey, 1950 huh! (snap) That sure was a good year, looks like your memory is holding up better than mine though as i'd forgotten about them billy carts. Must have been the long downhill run with no brakes and tha bump on the head at the bottom that did it.

Cheers
