That Tractor Workshop Manual Museum (known locally as the TWMM), is expected to be the major tourist attraction and employer on the east coast (Port Arthur are very worried that nobody will ever travel that far south again) and given the foreshadowed prosperity to be generated from this venture, rates for casual employees thruout Tasmania are already above $50/hr & still rising, which has caused the price of a small cup of coffee to rise to $19.50 and ............-

...... thought with reverence about OT's uncle BackTrack who was lost under very sad circumstances during the latter days of WW2 when he was a bomb aimer on a Lancaster on a very dangerous raid over Berlin.
As the Lancaster (avref), with its brave crew, approached the target the pilot (avref) handed over control of the aircraft (avref) to the bomb-aimer who then gave instructions to the Captain and 1st Officer.
"Left a bit" he said while dodging heavy flack as they approached the target and he could see the flares that had been dropped by the Pathfinders.
"OK, we are going well, but right a little please" he added & the Captain obeyed.
"Just a little further and a touch more to starboard please" said BackTrack.
Then he added "Oh, hang on" as he peered thru the bombsight "Back a bit".
And that is how BackTrack, his aircraft and his crewmates were lost, as they were somewhere between Berlin and Rome with a full load and he didn't have a clue where he was.
The gin flowed for most of the night and this led to a terrible outcome where ......

(DEAR NES READERS AND MODERATORS - OT is at a loss as to why his fine story of the Track family and their amazing ancestor FlightTrack, has been totally and completely ignored - in favour of trucks, trucking, ship-scrappers, camels, dying land explorers, and even photos of Caterpillar front end loaders!!
This derailing - sorry, make that de-planing - of the NES, is absolutely outrageous, and I demand that all those offenders (see above), who have misled this reputedly aviation-oriented story, into the travesty that it has become, be sent to the Tanami on the back of a 1930's Leyland truck, and be banned from further mention of anything other than aviation-related subjects!! - signed, Deeply Hurt OT).....
Let me tell you Onesie, all NESers feel your pain, as we have been laboring for years while overshadowed in our contributions by the behemoth that is Turbine Industries.
For those readers who are unfamiliar with WA hierarchy, the Track family are virtual royalty over there and just about match the McGowans, with whom they often intermarry or just have an occasional fiddle.
However a little like Tasmania before bull inserted his new genes, the intermarrying has been a trifle overdone since the Tracks 1st arrived on the Batavia, when Johannes Track & Willem von McGowan were put ashore just south of Geraldton as punishment for their abhorrent part in the Abrolhos controversy, but as noted in Onesie's post, the Track family still feel very entitled, whereas the McGowans are a lot more contrite, apologetic, shy and easy going.

Further research about the "FTW" that the drivers had carved into the tree indicates that this means "XXXX Turbo (the) WXXXXX".
The last word is unclear but it could be something like Winker.
Additional note - The truckies had obviously made friends and had become quite close to the Camels shown in that photo, as you would in such circumstances. Just say'n.

........ 55 truckies who are stuck on the Tanami Track with broken prime movers, dogs, and other types of trailers, and who spent all day in the scorching heat sticking pins in & kicking Turbo dolls (hence Turbo's constantly sore agates).
"I'm buggered is I know what the issue is" said Turbo "As those are Chinese and Russian ships and everyone knows what is the quality of HT steel from those joints."
bull, who still identifies with the transport workers, and who still has occasional double vision from the flogging that Cappy gave him, provided a vehement, spirited and blasphemous defense of the 55 drivers who are still alive (20 or so have perished due to Tubb's designs and are yet to be recovered) when bull said "..............

........ Madge did it again, just for old time's sake (but after the young girls had gone. (Ratso assumes that they were young girls as they were described as tittering and not saggering (Mavisref)).
It is also unclear if these DGCGC girls were from the "fifties" (Turboref) or were fifteen y.o.a. (possiblepaedoref) or if there were "one score less 5" of them that were satring at him.
But nevertheless, NES readers will be transfixed by this aspect of the story and will be very pleased to see that one of our stars of the NES, our beloved bull, has been banged again to within an inch of his life, by such a big Banggggggggg, and this meant that Mavis, bull and the young girls were ...........
