Sounds a tad familiar.


Did a lot of Milk Vat work at Monteith. If we'd run into each other I think I would have known, you in a big rig & me in a Holden EH Van.

Maybe one of these days you might spill the beans but as the whole world now knows, maybe it is time to get it off your chest again. I guarantee you'll feel better. 2nds always make one feel better so I am told, it is the firsts that one forgets.

To protect my innocent but ever cooperative, unwilling accomplice, the facts will have to remain sketchy.
I don't want to sink him/her.

Wasn't that big. Early 90s, I was driving an old V8 Benz towing a supermarket delivery size trailer, but it was built up with shelves to carry pot plants, and boy it could get heavy, more than legal often. The Ferry in those days was run by the same mob on the weighbridge, and they knew why I was on the ferry but never said a word.

That Benz was a murderous thing. It had hydraulic over air brakes. I was heading over somewhere near Chain of Ponds and it blew the hydraulic hose from the m/cyl leaving me with nothing. It didn't have any emergency brakes like the yank fully air types. That was fun. I got a Volvo after that.
