Just splitting off from another thread this subject seems to have garnered some good responses.
David Mottram commented on one of the more famous yards in Melbourne which largely disappeared in the 1980s as land values (and taxes) increased to the point where they were uneconomical to operate as storage for trucks and parts returning only a small income. Here's my response to David's excellent summary of the structure of Vic Drew Used Trucks Spot on David. Val was a heavy smoker and was always highly made up and well dressed which looked very incongruous in that setting. She'd encourage me to stay if it was lunch time or for a coffee while waiting for Bill to come back from one of the yards. I well remember how unpopular Les was. He'd sometimes store electronics from Sanyo there - just how he came by them remains a bit of a mystery. Quote:
