About 40 people.
I only know because people at work were talking about it.

Do you remember when Cyclone Tracy hit Darwin? We were in Patonga for the Christmas holidays. I was only young but I still remember it.

No, I don't remember it happening.
I've seen footage of it.

There's a guy at work who seems very Aspie.
You'd like him.
He looks like a young Colonel Sanders.
White hair and glasses.
He wears a Panama hat.
He's very cute.
We were chatting about Darcy Doyle and Wisdons.
That is, special interests.
A very Aspie conversation.

You were probably too young to remember it. Don't forget, I'm an old man.

I also remember once when we were at Patonga. We used to go to the caravan park there for holidays and they had a fire on the mountain - which was the only way out - back to Umina. There's no other way out of there but back through the mountain. Everyone was scared we were going to be trapped there in the bushfire.

I used to wear a Fedora to work when I used to work at Dick Smith Electronics when I was a lot younger.

I used to think it made me look like Indiana Jones... until one day, a co-worker said I looked like Freddy Krueger. I never wore it after that. :(

Have you been to Jenolan caves?
I remember going there when I was very young.
They said the pool in there was bottomless.
Even then I thought, "how could it be bottomless?"
If that was the case, all of the water would leak out of it.

I've never heard of Darcy Doyle. I'll Google him now.

What did you mean, I'd like this guy at work? Because he's a suspected Aspie or because he looks like The Colonel?

I think those kind of hats look good on men.
I have a trilby made of tightly woven paper.
It's my thinking (creative) hat.

I think I've been there twice. I know I went there with the school and I rode there once on my motorbike. I think I went there with my cousin once too. He was a 4WD nut.

I don't remember much about it though.

You're right. There has to be a bottom on it, unless it goes all the way through to China.

There's also a hole somewhere in the Woolondilly shire they reckon is bottomless. I saw a show about it once but they never gave away the exact location of it. It had like a manhole cover over it. This guy dropped a big rock down there and it just keeps falling and falling and you never hear it hit the bottom.

He's very interesting in his manner, conversation and dress sense.
An old-fashioned but reasonably young-looking man.
He's very courteous but a bit awkward too.
Like I said, very cute.
Looking like Colonel Sanders is just a bonus.

Very similar. Kathy had a good head for hats. No matter which hat she'd try on, it always looked good on her.

Why thank you. I'll take that as a compliment :)

But my dress sense is usually quite boring, unless I'm going to work. I usually dress for comfort.

Where else have you been in Australia? How long ago were you in NSW? Did you see anywhere else?

Did you go to the Blue Mountains?

They've been trying to get me to buy the uniform at work but it's that horrible fabric that makes my skin crawl.
And it's multi-coloured and revolting.
It has the indigenous colours on the sleeves and huge blue turtles swimming over the bottom half of it.
It's ghastly.
