Thanks for those memories :)

I went to KI in about 1978. Went there in a Mini, with a tent arrangement on top and camped near the Ranger Station in Flinders Chase. Our small dog was allowed in and I've got a photo of the dog and a kangaroo nose to nose when the 'roo decided to look inside our tent. There were kangaroos everywhere in that part of the Chase then.

We also camped in a paddock at Vivonne Bay and at night there must have been 50 or more wallabies grazing around the tent.

Sorry to hear it's different now.

nearing 40 - when you can remember denim jackets with big monster patches on teh back featuring metal rock bands such as Slayer, ACDC and Iron Maiden.

I still have an original duffel coat - been hanging in my wardrobe for about 25 years now...lol.

It's a 'kids' one (for about a 12 year old) - but my kids wouldn't have a bar of it - even though I tried to get them to wear it - told them the history of the duffel coat and the football numbers etc - but NOPE - not interested :lol:

So basically no one has worn it, it's practically brand new...lol.
But I just can't part with it.

No numbers on this one though..lol

O:)

Nah I know people who have just turned 30 who can remember that, you have to be nearing 40 to remember 1979.

When Jimmy James used to be called upon to help with his incredible tracking skills, to help find either criminals on the run, or lost children in the bush. Some of the stories about him were just amazing.
