BriansBash: A Racing Bike, Spuds and a Picket Fence
 |
| The Old Crash Site! |
Lyn and I visited Parnell this weekend and I was able to go to the scene of the bike crash site. The picket fence and the power pole are still there! I seem to remember the original picket fence was bigger than the one that is there now and the power pole was wood not concrete! The rise in the road is just before the Police station, but the thought of crashing into a truck at the bottom of the hill is still as vivid today as it was 57 odd years ago! I can't believe how Parnell has altered in the intervening years as many of the old houses have been replaced by small factories and warehouses, interspersed with identifiable cottages from my past.
