Here is the link to the unit advert. Note how close the fences are to the building - no room to swing a cat. Note also the price at previous sales, admittedly 26 years ago. Appears to be half a block, address is 1A. Most houses in our area sell within 2-3 weeks of being listed, and a majority bought by Asians or Indians. Not many two plus generational Aussies. Many bocks/houses are being demolished and replaced with either two-storey houses, or two units on the block.

On the other side of the coin, the house over our back fence has been up for lease for a few weeks, despite the shortage of rental accommodation. My daghter keeps an eye on these things, and says that the rent being asked has dropped 3 times. Must be a dump inside, althouh the ad has now gone off the internet.

There is a two bedroom, one bathroom, one carspace unit with a small yard for sale two streets from my place. The asking price - $1,149,900. You see mansions advertised in the US for half that.

I think the link is a bit out - not onetrack, the link. 145 metres high? If they couldn't include the dot in the link, it should have said 145 cm.

Incidently, that was one of the photos in the other hlf of the collection. I will add them tomorrow.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE 1% ERS: 
99% of people born between 1930 and 1946 (GLOBALLY) are now dead. 
If you were born in this time span, your ages range between 77 and 93 years old (a 16-year age span) and you are one of the rare surviving one-percenters.

Hre is a collection of photos which I thought deserved a thread of their own.  

And thats only about half the list.

Why is this a Silly Picture, Peter?

It's not a silly picture, but a search for "Harley" in the search function function in the header turned up a number of occurrences in this topic and no other.

Not that I even watched it on TV, but the thousands that watched it at Fed Square ruined it, stampeding and throwing flares. Fed Sq. closed for the next game.

I don't go to sporting matches. Not because I'm getiing older, but you see more of the game and replays, from the comfort of the armchair, and don't pay ripoff prices for your refreshments.

Three guys went hiking in the woods. As the sun was setting, they set up their camp, pitching tents and lighting a fire. While they were having their evening meal, a bigfoot came out of the woods and walked right up to them. He went past their fire, up to the cooler. He opened the cooler, took out a beer, opened the can, and downed the beverage. Then he turned to the terrified hikers and said,

"No-one will believe you when you tell them about this", then walked back into the woods.
