Just got home from filming, fark it was hot.
I lent against a chrome strip on inside of doors, got blisters.
No air con. metal dash and vinyl seats dont help.
Some pics.
Stopped for a quick pic on my way down.


George getting his make up applied.


The lady with her back to camera is the one who wrote the book and did the walk in 1977.


The shot was with me driving George upto the rock pillars you can see in the distance, I had 3 other fellas in the car (we looked like a bunch of backpackers), stooped at rangers box, ask how much, and hand over a $2 note, got a $1 note as change (entry fee in 1977 was 50c each), 2 cameras filmed, one front on and one from rear right, so not sure if you will see me or just my arm in movie.


The girl in blue shirt sitting down on far right is the main actress, Mia Wasikowska (she played Alice in Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland), very nice girl and chatty.


Filming cars leaving the van park.

Bet you never ever thought that George would end up in a movie when you tarted him up mate! You've given him a new lease on life.
Next minute we'll be reading about him in Who Weekly or sumfing.....being the celeb he is now !!
Rog

P.S. you better get a publicity shot of him and hang him up in the garage next to that calendar shot of your missus !!

Love the water bag. I remember using those in early adventures in Centralia.

On another note some may also enjoy the sounds of these great cars at Spa (see 3rd quadrant)

A man takes a lady out to dinner for the first time. Later they go on to a show.
The evening is a huge success and as he drops her at her door he says 'I have had
a lovely time. You looked so beautiful, you remind me of a beautiful climbing rose.

May I call on you tomorrow?'

She agrees and a date is made.
The next night he knocks on her door and when she opens it she slaps him hard across the face.

He is stunned. 'What was that for?' he asked.


She said 'I looked up beautiful climbing rose in the encyclopaedia last night and it said ...



‘Best suited for rooting against a brick wall or fence no good in an open bed.’

A man walks into his crowded local bar brandishing a revolver yelling:

"Who's been screwing my wife?"

A voice from the back of the bar shouts;

"You don't have enough ammo, mate!

What ever happen to the blogs.
When I click on the link in the bar I get : Database error
The Club Cobra database has encountered a problem.

It's been like that for a while now. I was going to update a new blog but can't.

The teacher was telling the kids about the birds and the bees and she explained that when a man and a woman meet and fall in love, nine months later the stork usually brings them a little baby from its nest.

Little Gemma at the back of the class put her hand up and asks the teacher, "Are you sure about the stork, miss? I think you're getting your birds mixed up 'cos my big sister just got a little baby and she said it was from a shag at the beach..!!!"

Talking Outback Weddin' Night

An Aussie stockman and his wife had just got married and stopped at an outback hotel on their wedding night. The man approached the front desk and asked for a room.

He said, 'We're on our honeymoon and we need a nice room, with a good strong bed."

The clerk winked, 'Do you want the 'Bridal'?'

The drover reflected on this for a moment and then replied,



"Nah, I reckon not. I'll just hold onto her ears until she gets used to it.."

Paddy goes into a Dublin Florist shop and says,

"I would like to buy a bunch of flowers for my girlfriend".

The florist looked at him and said, "Certainly Sir, what is it you're after?"

"A Root ! ", Paddy replies.

A father asked his 10-year old son if he knew about the birds and the bees.

'I don't want to know,' the child said, bursting into tears. 'Promise me you won't tell me.'

Confused, the father asked what was wrong.

The boy sobbed, 'When I was six, I got the 'There's no Easter Bunny' speech...
At seven, I got the 'There's no Tooth Fairy' speech.
When I was eight, you hit me with the 'There's no Santa' speech.
If you're going to tell me that grown-ups don't really shag, I'll have nothing left to live for.'
