Check out Renewin' Strathewen
Went to the Wattle Festival in Hurstbridge yesterday. Parked up the Mid-Hurst end of Hurstbridge thinking the traffic would be easier. Got there late so it wasn't.
Fire station
First stop the new Fire station. Must admit I hadn't seen this before so popped inside to check out the kit. Got sized up by a large overall clad Koala. The overalls are clean meaning they have been re-certified and re-issued. With the flash on you can see the HiViz markings on the overalls. Later on went past the old fire station down the road about 300m.
Fete
Walked past the fire station and the school to the Fete. Not that many people there.
Brock
Got a bit of a surprise in an old garage just down from the old fire station. Brocks Austin7. I hadn't seen his old paddock bomb since 2006 when I last went Hurstbridge to Brocks big day out. There it was all cleaned-up. Compared to last time it's magic. According to some old car nuts later on in the day the paddock bomb was in the process of being auctioned for the Peter Brock Foundation for $200,000. A museum in Queensland made an offer for $150K. So it's off to Brisbane. This is unconfirmed.
