Every thing was included even the plates and cutlery.

I reckon I wouldn't stay here if I had to stay in the burbs now.

Just been googling Truck Part suppliers in Sydney (for the Louie) and do you think I can find anything which is easy to get to now from central Sydney.
They're all out the back of beyond, in fact I can find more places in Albury to chase parts.
Grew up in Sydney but how things have changed, no one makes anything here anymore (apart from coffee)
Gleeman Truck Parts - Western Sydney

It has truths to it, I come out of our education system a decade ago, out of the 250 of us who started in year 7 together, 140 of us made it to the end of year 12, of those 140, it was myself and 9 others who went onto trades, the rest went to university.
