@TimB26119851 I'm no expert in poetry. But it does seem to be a genuine Lawson poem from 1909.

@railmaps Very amusing but it wasn't a Lawson poem!
Very funny that a young staffer put that in the speech.
Even funnier so many Aussies didn't pick up the mistake.

Today's historic photo of the day: Exactly Forty years ago today, EMD diesel loco X34, long end leading, heads a Geelong-bound VLine passenger train through Werribee, Vic, March 22 1986. Since 2015, trains to Geelong and Warrnambool have run via Wyndham Vale rather than Werribee.

@trashyhonky Four bodies still exist, but only one can actually operate, and it is not permitted on the main line.

@trashyhonky Years ago, it was normal to have to walk through clouds of smoke in the streets (and inside). Now it's rare enough to be notable. Worst now is when walking past city office highrises in mid morning and mid afternoon when smokers congregate in doorways and on footpaths for smoko.

Just got stuck behind a person smoking for almost 90 seconds, the most disgusting 150m of the 465km I've walked this year

Yeah, bring back gas bags.
The massive rooflines of SUVs might actually have some value after all.

During and after WWII, there was a shortage and rationing of liquid fuel in Australia up to early 1950s. Taxis, trucks/ lorries and some private cars were run instead on coal gas or gas producers. This is a truck on Clarence St, Sydney with a "gas bag" c1950
