Hi Kevin, Thanks for your details. I have added your house and your neighbours. Also an area of woodland on the opposite side of the road. I have also smoothed out the line of the road, and added the driveway through the nearby petrol filling station. It needs someone with local knowledge to add more detail to the map (you?) -- I'm on the other side of the planet. 🙂 cheers, Martin. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted August 17 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 17 Thanks I'll look at it on the computer at home. Opposite is a larger property and they do agistment for a couple of horses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is difficult to see property boundaries on the aerial view. Someone posted me a link earlier today to this Youtube for the Warburton line. It shows the train at various stages of the journey, from Flinders St to Lilydale the junction station, which had refreshment rooms. It is hauled by 2 'dog box' motor coaches, where they are taken off at Lilydale & swapped out with a steam loco. Bad luck the film hasn't fared that well. I was down at Killara station seen in the video. The huts have gone, but the rest is still there. In fact I noticed that the concrete platform edging has in the last few days been tidied and refitted. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look that one up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agistment it is the first time that I have seen/read/heard that word! 2 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I don’t have a photo but my favourite comment written on a dirty van was a response to the “I wish my girlfriend was this dirty”.

Underneath that someone had simply written “she is”. Yes, I've seen that as well, but 'danger prat in transit' was easier to do, and of course is a play on the make of van, too. As an HGV driver the most pertinent graffiti was linked to Radio DJ Alex Lester's "Best Time of the Day" Show, which ran for many years on Radio 2, about 3am to 6am Mon - Fri. Most of it would've made no sense to anyone else, but could be seen on many HGVs especially in the winter when the dirt really built up. "Slap my Top", "ALAN" (stood for Alex Lester At Night) "Boloxnia or Bust" and more were all signs that the driver listened to Alex Lester. Of course Radio 2 went through a similar purge to what Radio 1 went through a decade or so earlier. He is now on Greatest Hits radio, doing pretty much the same thing AFAIK, but I am no longer an HGV Driver and no longer awake during The Best Time of the Day..... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a retired commercial driver, I have great sympathy for all this. And is worthy of great sympathy from all that drive at unsocial hours. However (I have to confess) that my main attention is now focused on what Jemma Warren will be doing next after resigning from Waines Transport. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
