thehikingdude,
I was one of the Oregonians after resettled when the VN War is over.
Still loving to return to the City of Roses every trip I'm back to the USofA.
Great works from what I've seen on your site.
Thanks for sharing.

Raskill,
after a few work visits to Portland NSW on a number of occasions, yep...

The question is: Would have prefered to be statationed at Wallerawang. :D
I won't forget the last time I was there when I ducked into the local store. (only to find that they had a 3 day old SMH as the "latest" edition).

I came back out of the shop to find some of the local talent (all of about 15 yrs) stretched across the bonnet of my car (Hot4s magazine style)...
The conversation went something like:

Me: "what are you doing on my car?"
15yo: "ooh, this is a nice car, is it yours"
me: "yes, now get off it"
15yo: "can I ride with you?"
me: "er, no"
15yo: "do you want a blow job?" :shock:
me: "you're under age!!! get off my car. Go home!"

I be heearin banjos in them thar hills!
