DIESELPUNK-Streamline Steam Australia produced one of the classiest streamliners in their S class locos. Quote:-“In November 1937, iconic Victorian Railways Commissioner Harold Clapp, introduced one of Australia’s best loved trains, the Spirit of Progress, which operated from Spencer Street to Albury. At Albury, passengers indulged in the infamous change of gauge to NSW trains that took them to or from Sydney. VR’s four crack 4-6-2 ‘S’ class steam locomotives were given a special, easily recognised and prestigious, streamlined body and the locos were painted in a new blue and gold colour scheme, as were the new, all-steel cars that were also an integral part of the Spirit of Progress.” More HERE

SKIPPY brand bottled Kangeroo will be familar to our Australian readers but only those of a certain age will remember the amazingly intelligent and dexterous kangeroo it is named after.

When, as rarely happens, some lightly clad lady appears on my page I can rely on getting a verbal thrashing from Jude . If she lived nearer I am sure it would be a physical thrashing as I remember the words “horsewhipped through the streets of Royston Vasey” appearing in one heated reprimand The clientele of Miss Whiplash’s Massage Emporium would have been most envious as Jude has a strong right arm. (I nearly said she is a fine big girl which could mean a horsewhipping all over Yorkshire) Anyway, Europeans regard Australia as rather louche and uncouth, the land of tinnies and barbies. Jude has changed all that by allowing me to show you the elegant and refined side of Australian life as illustrated in this picture she sent me where these ladies have given their bodies over to demonstrate that Australia is truly at the forefront of artistic endeavour. Saatchi you’ve missed out here (click) Click picture if you inclined towards the Australian mode of artistry
