In the late 60s my mum and dad ran the plumbing shop at jandowae.

Thanks so much for sharing that Chris. I’m sure the town has changed quite a lot since the 1960s. It’s a lovely area. Thank you for watching. Kind regards, Lea and Joe.

@@RoaminWithTheRubes yes a lovely area, they sold blocks of land for $1 back in the nineties I think it was. Our shop was opposite the exchange hotel I’m pretty sure, in high st. Next door to the hotel was a tractor dealership, they were red, I’m thinking Massey Ferguson, anyway I went across the road this day and climbed up the big ladder that allowed access to the cabin of one of the bigger tractors they had, I was going great and got into the cabin but stuffed up and pushed the starter somehow. I just started screaming above the roar of the engine and was quickly saved from the big red beast, lol. Just a memory I have as a 4 or 5 yo I thought I would share. Happy safe travels to you both.🙂🇦🇺

Your story gave us a little laugh Chris, but we do understand that you weren't laughing at the time! For a child of your age then it would have been very frightening. Such a temptation that tractor must have been for you, but we bet you thought twice before doing that again. Thanks so much for sharing this great story Chris.
