A beautiful midsummer day 16th February 1992, a Yapper Tours day out with
Yapper 469, Greg Fitzgerald the driver. A couple of photos taken on a
break, I think for lunch, at South Melbourne Beach. I'm pretty sure that
those three beers are for Greg Dixon, Graeme Westwood [Westy] and myself.
Westy not doing too well now and I believe will not get any better. Westy
in much better days, Bowen QLD 1964.
