@BuzzPatterson They were big in Australia too (one of your favourite destinations :-)) but pretty much gone although there is the odd Pizza Hut storefront still going.

@MConallin @rhettrospective Wonderful! I hope they are all being digitised before the tapes aren't playable and the machines are dead. Copied of the 1" C-format ones by the looks of it. We went through a process at work to digitise our old video and films last year.

@BuzzPatterson Option 2 !

@analyticflying @raelene1458 100% correct under the WoAG (Whole of Australian Government) arrangements.

@cqcqcqdx It is all the carts that I noticed with stings, station ids, commercials etc

@MCCCANM Looks like a TV cooking show with all the ingredients prepped and ready to go 🙂

@SteveWiesbaden I was fortunate to ride behind the Flying Scotsman last October from Grosmont. Came from Australia!

@JimmyBarnes Hapoy Birthday Jimmy. You get stronger and wiser as each year goes by. Hope there are decades of good tunes ahead.

@PictureSporting I am sure you know this but it is ANZAC. Australian and New Zealand Army Corps

@London_W4 Love the decor, particularly the old cricket bats.

[Shaun Amy @ausnetman]

@jonostrower Yes just the right amount of commentary to add to the pictures. Some of the others talk to much for my liking.

@ErikaMorris79 I am Australian but I love watching Jimmy bowl - talk about longevity in the game and for a quick too! What a great stat!

@DaveWallsworth Hi Dave. I have lost both my parents and am an only child. I think of them daily and wonder if they think I am doing a reasonable job on earth (or not). Dad wasn’t big on praise 🙂

@Taraustralis Yep. no longer used (since late 2009) but preserved at CDSCC, Tidbinbilla as a historical landmark. Known as DSS46 at CDSCC (was DSS 44 at Honeysuckle).

@Taraustralis My favourite movie but I am biased. Parkes was used for real with the first 8m50s of TV coming via Honeysuckle Creek and the remainder via Parkes: larger antenna = more collecting area = stronger signal.

@TonyHWindsor @PatFromFTG @FriendsoftheABC Agree Tony. The programme concept is great but I don't listen any more - the summer version this year with Angela Catterns was excellent.

@WG_RumblePants @DenisCarnahan @DenisCarnahan is a genius. He does “Cricket the Musical” and “Rugby League the Musical” and is also the technical producer for much of @abcsport live radio coverage in Sydney!

@WG_RumblePants Fantastic player and one the most humble and down to earth people you could meet. Greeted me down a hallway (he didn't know me) with "G'day mate, how are you". I just hope his health improves.
