Today, l decided to drive the boys to lunch in my ‘57 Chevy Bel Air, 2-door, Coupe so that we could work out the problems of the universe.
I decided to make the 1-hour, easy drive south from 'The Shire' down through the Royal National Park to the Headlands Hotel at Austinmer, this multi award winning venue located on the picturesque South Coast of NSW.

| Good friends; Stuart on the left, Gary in the middle and yours truly on the right at The Headlands Hotel |
Content with our magnificent coastal views, in the first photo (above) you can witness all three of us hoeing into our lunch starter course of super fresh Sydney Rock Oysters.
These two guys are my friends that I toured the USA & Alaska with back in 2016. We especially went to Indianapolis, Indiana for the 100th running of the famous Indy 500 motor race.
You would not know that we are Rednecks, Gary is wearing his TRUMP hat & if you look closely you can see my TRUMP socks under the table. (you can also check out my socks in the other photos).

As you can see, Stuart is the loose cannon!!! We still need to do some more work on him before the US elections to be held on November 3rd, 2020 so that he joins us on the TRUMP Train.
Once we finished a most enjoyable lunch and a few beers at the Headlands Hotel, we decided to move on to another watering hole. However there was a couple of photo opportunities I needed to take advantage of.

| Our seaside stetting for lunch was at the Headlands Hotel, Austinmer |
Winter has just finished here in Australia three days ago, today the day-time temperature reached 30°C. (90°F) not too shabby for the very start of Spring.
If you look closely at the photo with the ‘57 Chevy looking out towards the coast line, you can see two punters swimming in the pristine Pacific Ocean, did you notice that social distancing was also being adhered to in this shot.

| The local constabulary obliged to park his patrol vehicle right next to my '57 Chevy |
Before we drove off from Austinmer, we had a friendly visit by the local NSW Police, l asked the Constable if he could park his patrol vehicle next to my ‘57 Chevy, and as you can see he obliged with out a second thought.
By now it was time to hit the road once again, so I suggested to the boys that we should visit the Centennial Hotel in the tiny township of Helensburgh for a couple of thirst quenchers as this watering hole is on the way home, they did not say no.
This brought back some good memories for me, as eight years ago when I completed the total restoration of my ‘31 Model A Ford Delux Tudor Sedan we visited this very same watering hole, so it was really a blast from the past.

The Centennial Hotel at Helensburgh is a great example of a typical country pub & real people. The clientele is blue collar, working class, with 95% being coal miners from the local mines, so you can imagine the reception we received from these Rednecks when we pulled up in the Chevy, with Gary wearing his TRUMP hat & yours truly with my TRUMP socks.
If this is any indication of what will happen in the US elections come the 3rd of November, 2020. Listen up you anti-Trumpsters!!!

| The Centennial Hotel in Helensburgh was our last stop for the day on our way home to 'The Shire'. |
In the Centennial Hotel at Helensburgh we were immediately accepted with open arms, our opinion of the upcoming elections in the US. Not only that... we were cheered by the mob in the Public bar as we departed the premises in the Chevy.
Does that tell you something ???
The silent majority are not stupid here in Australia or in America. Remember what happened in our own Federal Election last year. As far as the experts were concerned it was a foregone conclusion that the Lefties would walk it in. Need I say anything else.
That’s all folks until next time. Stay safe.
Cheers from the ‘Squire from the Shire’.
