One of my mates reckons he had to knock back a job as a postie because club rules stipulated he ride a Harley or a Triumph with his colors on at all times, while riding, and it wouldn't be a good look to have the mail delivered in such a way! 🤣🤣
It’s amazing how much Sandy Harbutt changed his appearance from 1970 TV series The Longarm, playing a short haired semi groovy young cop, to a long haired bikie. He looks a lot shorter too, maybe that’s what’s confusing me the most, he seriously looks to have lost three inches in height from 1970 to 1974
It saddens me to see our mutual countries taken over by 'woke' pundits. Australia always fascinated me because as an American we have (had) so much in common like being colonized by outcasts and criminals that gave us a bit of a renegade streak. We love our cars and motorcycles and the countless ways of modifying them. We both have huge stretches of open country that brought on a sense of self-reliance born out of necessity. Much love from 'Murica!
Don't let them wokies take over your country man! I still hope for Murica as the last bastion for anti-establishment folks with good common sense. NZ, Aussie, Canada, mmmm not really feel confident about them.
Great documentary about Cook, all about good people, good community and making do with what you have. Only downside of these little places was occasional alcohol problems. Cook is just about history now, it all went down hill fast after Australian National rail was privatised, you would be disgusted at the state of the town now with only about four people there and Pacific National running a "closed shop" company town. They don't even open the souvenir shop for the Indian Pacific anymore, such a shame. The sunrises and sunsets at Cook are awesome. Rawlinna and Tarcoola also gone the same way as Cook. Murray Sims, rest in peace, he would be heartbroken to see the place now...
@@PeterCarolM That's why manually operated points are safe, most derailments occur when trains are traveling to fast over hot rails, especially when kinked, derailments are more likely to occur between January and February. Although on the Trans line all the old maintenance gangs and camps are long gone , it's just a Hodge podge effort of private contractors repairing a vast area of track nowadays all the rest areas are gone too
I was a US Navy Navigator on a guided missile destroyer. We went from San Diego, California on a South Pacific Goodwill Cruise in 1978. I didn't think there was anywhere more remote than Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand. Then, we went to Brisbane, Australia. Okay, remote, but more people. Then up to Mackay. I though, okay... remote again and less people. I didn't know about Cook and its 80 people. Now, what? Down to 2? Aussies seem like a staunch bunch. Sporty too. Why not put in a golf course, tennis courts, and one of those artificial surfing pools in the outskirts of Cook? (add a great white shark or two... control the number of tourists, yet add to continuing the rough, pioneer spirit of the place). I'd go. I'd even give free American English lessons like I do here. Could to the same for the folks there. Or, maybe even Spanish, should the need arise. Gracias por tu video. R.T. West sends... envía. Colonia Centro Histórico, Puebla, México...
Narrator: “even aboriginal people never lived on the waterless Nullarbor” Me: “then why are there aboriginal paintings in caves throughout the Nullarbor”? 🤔
Copyright notice at the end of the doco suggests 1992, so you're not far off. Bear in mind that Perth was about 10 years behind the rest of Australia at the time.
I think about 1992 ....the hair was definitely a statement ..we didn't have a hairdresser in town so we made do with what we had, or we waited until we went to a bigger town like Ceduna. I was 16 un this doco 🙂👍
1:33 The guy that says the line "Hey Man where did you get that?" I think that's the same guy that played the Civilized Bushman in Crocodile Dundee, the one who jokes about the other guy wanting to know if they were allowed to eat these men?
@@lordchickenhawkMan that's cool to know, that's why this scene feels so real its was awesome that they were in the film sort of like "Blood In Blood Out" it was filmed in a real prison and most of the the cast were prisoners. I can't believe I went so long without ever hearing about this film my last name is Stone and I was born in 1974 so I felt a connection to it and I loved it makes me feel like I'm watching a prequel to MAD MAX. Thanks for the knowledge that's awesome.
