With boats you dirty minded buggers! Tongue

Taken around 1967 I'd say - I've seen a few boats come and go since then!


Cheers, Tony

Thanks guys

I'd say you're probably right on it being ply Jas, here's a cropped pic that shows the detail a little better. I certainly look cuter there than what I see in the mirror nowadays ConfusedLOL



Hopefully I've got some pics of Dad's old boat "Tiki" here somewhere, Tiki was a a timber half cab around 16' 6" with a holden 186 inboard, Dad had some great adventures in her. One camping expedition on Fraser island the weather turned nasty and the boat got swamped. The transom had to be dug out of the sand and the motor fixed before they could get back home - we don't realise how easy we have it with all the gadgets nowadays!
