i was having a beer with H "Laurie Hohensee" the other night and he was talking about his time in NZ, H was telling me Geoff Darby was doing a bit over there.
Funny guy H, i was telling him about some blokes on the breeze and he said "did you tell them i still make boards" H always the salesman 
i like his story about Bob Mctavish
in 1963 bob come up and asking for a job and said he could shape and all the rest of it, but he couldn't, jokes Laurie
a clip of H shaping

Emu Park that place brings back some memories , hung around up there in the 70 s . Went to school at a little place about 50 miles west of there . the swagman out the front of the local pub was the biggest attraction in town .
