Reporting live from the Bundeena Community and Services Club (Ex-Bundeena RSL).
Bundeena 'Photo Shoot' with my Classic 1931 Model A Ford, Slant Window, 4-door, Town Sedan (all Steel Body) accompanied by two retired Qantas 'Trolly Dolly' friends of mine from another life.

Steve Core, who helps me organise the Pre-WWII Vintage Car Show in Cronulla Mall every year has recently purchased all the goodies that are required to take an interesting photograph, so we decided that today would be the day to adventure out to test his skills and his new toys.
Last week, Steve informed me that an old mutual friend of ours, Dave Shaw, would be coming to Sydney from his residence in Kiama on the NSW south coast and that it would be good if we could all get together.

Today was the day that we ventured out with my newly registered Model A Ford for a road journey through the Royal National Park (incidentally) this park is the largest National Park in the Southern Hemisphere.
We picked up Dave from Sutherland railway station then drove through the GREAT Royal National Park that is located on our back doorstep, finally ending up in the lovely picturesque township called Bundeena.

As you can see by Steve Core's set of five photographs. They are just GOLD!!! Steve mentioned that while we were in the mood we should shoot some video in preparation for promotion of the 2020 Pre-WWII Vintage Car Show.
So stay tuned... Steve is in the process of editing the footage that he shot today for me to make a welcoming speech in the build up for our 6th Pre-WWII Vintage Car Show. Planned to be held on Sunday 5th April, 2020 in the Cronulla Mall and once again to be extended into Perryman Square right by the ocean.

Once we had finished telling lies, taking photographs and reminiscing of those wonderful days gone by, etc, etc, it was now time for lunch. We found the Bundeena Community and Services Club and decided that we needed to eat. Ironically we parked right next to the Club on Tom Jones Way - but that's not unusual!
As you can see in the photograph above, the food and the setting was superb. If you are ever in this part of the world ‘Do yourself a favour' and drop into this very special part of the Cosmos so close to our back door across the Port Hacking River from Cronulla as you can witness in Steve’s photographs.
Time was against us as we needed to deliver Dave back to Sutherland Station for the 2:55pm train that takes him south to Kiama and home sweet home. Today was just one of those days, all the holes in the cheese lined up just perfectly.

A big thanks to my ex-Qantas flying friends Steve Core and Dave Shaw for making it a wonderful relaxed day, catching up on the old parts and the new stories in our lives makes one realise how lucky a life we have had flying around the world as a Qantas Flight Attendants for all those many, many years.
So for now I will sign off and hopefully continue to travel down that 'Highway of Life' for a long time to come.
Cheers
Warbo
(NB:) Now if that is not a good story, I don’t know what is.
