PDF GOLD! This has been doing the rounds at my husbands work.

I don’t like writing stories but I thought the RiotACT could enjoy this.

i wonder when ian finally succumbed to a hair cut – maybe 1976? or did he eschew the nascent punk influences and keep his bogan glory for decades?

Don’t knock it bro – I had hair like that but cut it off before I moved here. Looked a lot while Jesus while I had the locks but that was ok. Though I seemed to attract a lot of Catholic girls – when I moved here I had to leave a nice Catholic girl back in the old town and she wrote me a letter saying she was going to join a nunnery. True story.

Anyone know if that’s Casuarina Sands or Pine Island pictured (or neither)?

Isn’t it Kambah Pool ?

If the picture set follows a logical sequence then the next picture of Ian would show him smoking a dart in bed.

Check out the nudie pencil holder on page 3. I doubt that would go down well these days!

The Sundown drive-in, over Narrabundah way.

So where was the 2nd drive-in? Page 6 reckons there will be 9 picture theatres, including two drive-ins…I remember going to the Starlight drive-in out past Watson as a kid in the 80’s, but was there a second one somewhere else at some stage?

I vow to wage a one-person campaign to bring back the sock-sandal combo displayed on page 6 in the Woden Plaza shot. Some fashions should never die.
