Needed a Ford hub/bearing to finish the pipe spinner so went into the local engineering "has everything farmer" joint. Bloke knows me as a long standing local and a big noise against Twiggy's wind-factory crime gang so get everything at cost. Hub is Aussie made! Real Japanese big name bearings! No SuperCheap China sh*t.
Get pulled up by every second bloke and couple, helped because so many see the Mrs at her clinic. Real country hospitality and sense of community.
Freezing wind blowing through the main drag of town.
Of course there are the blow-ins since Covid, intent on bringing their narcissism and latte-sick into our community but we ignore the man-buns and long grey-haired old men with ponytails looking to score.
But what is really great is the local Pursehouse Produce store down near the Ford dealer at the roundabout (God those white Raptors look good) still has ammo and proper butchering knives...
Not the man-bun rubbish fad-calibres but the awesome ADI range, and Core-Lokt 22-250, 243, 270, 308, 30-06 and of course, the rimfires INCLUDING shotshells and... wait for it... .17 Mach 2.
Pick some up when you buy some stock nuts for training and ransom work.
They even remember, as you go to pull the firearms license out, "nah mate, your renewals a few years off as I remember, all good"
Why TF would you live anywhere else.
