Re: Kongs trip around the world 2014
Brian what did you think of Port Kembla,it's a lot diferent to when i shipped out of there very busy port in the 70s 7 80s all different now very quite and run down.I had a place on Lake illawarra sold it to move here to South West rocks.Used to be a great place but the area got to big and over crowded,hence the move.Joe looks well wouldn't reconise him if i saw him,mind you long time ago i was O.S. at the time just a kid on The France.Sounds like you had a great trip. Welcome back.
