@kevkoala You made some really thoughtful choices man, well done.

Did you work out the reason why those choc coated caramel toffee lollies are called 'Fantales'? They were a staple in picture theatres in Australia for years. I started collecting the wrappers and began linking each numbered and categorised 'Fan Tale' into continuous rolls. I basically categorised and organised the wrappers and kept them in special containers. They were like an encyclopedia of movie stars on the wrappers. You would be guaranteed to get one full story on a wrapper, with portions of other stories at the top and bottom where the machine cut the long wrapper feed.

@kevkoala Definitely! He loves his 4x4 stuff.

I've been spending some time trying to find a video of Dick Johnson's XB Falcon from 1977. The only stuff I found was a Scalextric car and another 1/12 scale model. Any XA-XC series videos are Moffat's or collector's videos. Frustrating. I did find some A9/X videos (my second favourite car behind the XA or XB). I won't post them here, but I'll work out a way to get the links to you. I have some stuff to send to you when I am rich enough to pay the postage. Take care you wonderful people.

Quokka. Think 'Rock'. 'Rock-a'. Quokka.

@blueycarlton I'm mostly retired due to mental health issues (which may or may not explain something) ex-truck driver and IT geek. But I have worked in many professions/trades/stuff before doing anything long-term. I used to get bored really easy and would jump from job to job once I'd learned enough of that trade to be either barely proficient or just dangerous :)

The drifters were very cool. Arguably better than the Sandman and Sundowner. Well, way better than the Sundowner (and I like Fords).

Twisties. Arguably my favourite Aussie-born snack. Cheese or Chicken. Don't need any fancy stuff. Oh, and you put a Cheezel on each finger and slowly munch on them. My second favourite. Then Cherry Ripes.

Hey Ian. This is a longish video, but I'm sure you'd love to see a KE20 Toyota Corolla with a Turbo-charged Barra motor that does 7-second quarter miles. https://youtu.be/_RkBHY-jP1A

@baird55aus I used to hang around Johnson's pit tent at Lakeside back when it was an ATCC track. He was very patient with this then 14 year old curious kid.
