mrsmackpaul Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Because, well why not My most favorite part of Australia is the big open flat plains, they go for hundreds of miles and until white (yeah that evil bastard that's to blame for everything wrong in todays world) 😆 had virtually no trees at all, just salt bush and grass The best thing about this country is the sunrises and sunsets, they last for hours and to me are spectacular, I may be a tad bias here Mother natures effort today And to keep it all with in the spirit of the forum "Mr Macknificent" the late Eddie Hollands R 700 Happy d asys everyone Paul 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/13/#findComment-526119 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Having a bit of fun is what it is all about Halloween was never mentioned in Australia until maybe 10 years ago Big department stores are pushing it, I have never seen or heard of Australian kids trick or treating, yet ??? Nothing like happy kids I reckon, sort of reminds of been a kid Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/13/#findComment-526132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 It has faded off here through the years too many freaks people usually just have local parties too much worry about poison, candy, and so forth… it was way more fun back in the 60s for most of us older fellas 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/71001-sidetrack-area/page/13/#findComment-526139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 you got it right about the Halloween fun of many years back. it was a challenge many of us took sneaking up to someone's front porch and steal a pumpkin, not for the idea of stealing . many times we just moved it saying we were there and didn't get caught .. never understood the toilet paper all over ; today no one can afford toilet paper to throw away.

Car was in pretty good shape no dents no rot roof was all tore into hell was about. It.
