0:01:02.365 --> 0:01:02.885
<v Speaker 1>That's great.

0:01:03.645 --> 0:01:05.765
<v Speaker 2>I love the story from Connie Christian. I was in

0:01:05.805 --> 0:01:09.805
<v Speaker 2>the paper when John Farnham came to visit hospital. I

0:01:09.845 --> 0:01:11.125
<v Speaker 2>was in the school choir but it was in a

0:01:11.165 --> 0:01:14.245
<v Speaker 2>car accident day before and couldn't attend. He came to

0:01:14.325 --> 0:01:16.925
<v Speaker 2>visit me and sat in my hospital bed and we

0:01:16.965 --> 0:01:19.445
<v Speaker 2>had a photo taken for the local paper. Connie, what

0:01:19.525 --> 0:01:22.205
<v Speaker 2>a gorgeous story, Christian. I was a local paper when

0:01:22.205 --> 0:01:25.405
<v Speaker 2>I was sixteen. I'd written to local council. Really angry

0:01:25.565 --> 0:01:29.445
<v Speaker 2>at the state of the paintwork on the obelisk. It's

0:01:29.525 --> 0:01:31.285
<v Speaker 2>not going on for sixteen year old lad. Isn't it

0:01:31.965 --> 0:01:35.565
<v Speaker 2>an icon in the tourism area here? My letter made

0:01:35.565 --> 0:01:40.885
<v Speaker 2>it to the front page. The obelisk got painted surely afterwards.

0:01:41.085 --> 0:01:45.405
<v Speaker 2>I love that Michelle concerned young residents and this is

0:01:45.485 --> 0:01:49.365
<v Speaker 2>an epic one. Christian I was in the local paper

0:01:49.485 --> 0:01:53.525
<v Speaker 2>riding a tandem bike with people of a certain age.

0:01:53.605 --> 0:01:56.565
<v Speaker 2>Will understand what a big moment this was for a

0:01:56.565 --> 0:01:59.125
<v Speaker 2>young kid. With bill Odie from The Goodies.

0:02:03.445 --> 0:02:03.965
<v Speaker 1>Christian I was.

0:02:04.045 --> 0:02:07.005
<v Speaker 2>Dressed as Timbrook Taylor from the Goodies. We rode around

0:02:07.085 --> 0:02:11.285
<v Speaker 2>fed Square in Melbourne. Phil said to me, please don't crash,

0:02:11.325 --> 0:02:14.005
<v Speaker 2>young man. We had some really bad ones.

0:02:13.764 --> 0:02:16.245
<v Speaker 1>A few years ago. What did But what he means

0:02:16.445 --> 0:02:18.045
<v Speaker 1>was he kids can't.

0:02:17.765 --> 0:02:21.125
<v Speaker 2>Write a tano with one of the legendary goodies.

0:02:22.645 --> 0:02:25.125
<v Speaker 1>That is. That's one of my favorite ones so far.

0:02:25.165 --> 0:02:29.565
<v Speaker 2>I love Christians on the front mage Nose to nose,

0:02:29.645 --> 0:02:32.125
<v Speaker 2>lying on the ground with a local Greens counselor and

0:02:32.205 --> 0:02:35.165
<v Speaker 2>a turtle. We had built a turtle island in the

0:02:35.205 --> 0:02:39.565
<v Speaker 2>Blue Mountains. I would really have explain this if you

0:04:35.525 --> 0:04:39.125
<v Speaker 3>Well, I was in the Sydney Morning ferrald because I

0:04:39.164 --> 0:04:41.684
<v Speaker 3>was the first person to break down in the Sydney

0:04:41.685 --> 0:04:44.125
<v Speaker 3>Harbor Tunnel ten minutes after it opened.

0:04:47.205 --> 0:04:47.724
<v Speaker 1>To fame.

0:04:49.085 --> 0:04:53.044
<v Speaker 3>My husband and I were in the car and we

0:04:53.164 --> 0:04:56.004
<v Speaker 3>ran out of fuel, ran out of petrol. He driven

0:04:56.044 --> 0:05:00.124
<v Speaker 3>to a petrol station in my lovely old Kingslet and

0:05:00.645 --> 0:05:03.445
<v Speaker 3>we had our dog Arrow in the back seat, and

0:05:03.765 --> 0:05:07.684
<v Speaker 3>Arrow was the first dog to go through first playing

0:05:07.844 --> 0:05:12.044
<v Speaker 3>customer at about three fifteen in the morning of the

0:05:12.085 --> 0:05:15.284
<v Speaker 3>Sydney Harbor Tunnel back in August in ninety two.

0:05:15.724 --> 0:05:16.564
<v Speaker 1>This is incredible.

0:05:16.565 --> 0:05:19.084
<v Speaker 2>So it's two first first person break down and first

0:05:19.125 --> 0:05:20.364
<v Speaker 2>dog to go through it as well.

0:05:21.044 --> 0:05:23.804
<v Speaker 3>That's it. And it was funny because it was in

0:05:23.885 --> 0:05:27.404
<v Speaker 3>column mate. And when we got towed out, it was

0:05:27.525 --> 0:05:32.044
<v Speaker 3>the tow truck's birth the tow trucky's birthday that day,

0:05:32.164 --> 0:05:34.964
<v Speaker 3>and he was over the moon and we got tod

0:05:35.085 --> 0:05:37.525
<v Speaker 3>to waterloo. So in the paper it just said that

0:05:37.565 --> 0:05:40.284
<v Speaker 3>we got owed to the loo to be a brisan.

0:05:42.804 --> 0:05:44.964
<v Speaker 1>Wow. Any scenes, what scenes?

0:05:47.125 --> 0:05:49.205
<v Speaker 3>I will say it was one of the highlights of

0:05:49.245 --> 0:05:51.925
<v Speaker 3>my life because it was like a party. This is

0:05:51.964 --> 0:05:54.844
<v Speaker 3>before children at about three ten in the morning on

0:05:54.885 --> 0:05:58.165
<v Speaker 3>the north side heading down into the tunnel, and I

0:05:58.205 --> 0:06:01.924
<v Speaker 3>was in about the first twenty people, and it got

0:06:01.924 --> 0:06:03.964
<v Speaker 3>around that it was going to open. So it was

0:06:04.044 --> 0:06:07.484
<v Speaker 3>kind of an exciting thing back when you're twenty one

0:06:07.844 --> 0:06:08.365
<v Speaker 3>twenty two.

0:06:08.685 --> 0:06:12.604
<v Speaker 2>An incredible story and it's immortalized forever in the local newspaper.

0:06:13.284 --> 0:06:16.564
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I've even got it on video, which I discovered us.

0:06:17.325 --> 0:06:20.244
<v Speaker 2>Did you make it onto the onto the news?

0:06:20.685 --> 0:06:24.204
<v Speaker 3>No, No, we were videoing it. We had the video

0:06:24.325 --> 0:06:26.884
<v Speaker 3>camera with us and I'd forgotten about this tape and

0:06:26.924 --> 0:06:31.365
<v Speaker 3>I had a transfer and here's my husband feeling about

0:06:32.005 --> 0:06:38.044
<v Speaker 3>who should have put the petrol up there? And I

0:06:38.085 --> 0:06:41.244
<v Speaker 3>remember going, it's not in parks, should I put it in?

0:06:42.924 --> 0:06:44.804
<v Speaker 2>And this is all you too, bickering is all caught

0:06:44.844 --> 0:06:46.604
<v Speaker 2>on camera on tape.

0:06:47.445 --> 0:06:49.444
<v Speaker 3>My husband was filming. I think he thought it was

0:06:49.525 --> 0:06:51.724
<v Speaker 3>hilarious that I was having this.

0:06:51.604 --> 0:06:54.685

0:06:54.724 --> 0:06:58.164
<v Speaker 2>of camcorders back in when you I think you said

0:06:58.164 --> 0:07:00.124
<v Speaker 2>in the nineties ninety two that would have been a

0:07:00.125 --> 0:07:01.685
<v Speaker 2>big a big camera as well.

0:07:03.284 --> 0:07:07.844
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't too bad. But yes they weren't petite, that's

0:07:07.844 --> 0:07:10.605

<v Speaker 2>because we got married in nineteen ninety eight, so we

0:07:37.645 --> 0:07:39.965
<v Speaker 2>were given the video of it and then we transferred

0:07:40.005 --> 0:07:42.005
<v Speaker 2>to the DVD and now it's a thumb driving all that.

0:07:42.165 --> 0:07:45.405
<v Speaker 2>But some people still have video cassettes with things that

0:07:45.445 --> 0:07:48.124
<v Speaker 2>are still recording on there. I bet those old TV

0:07:48.285 --> 0:07:51.325
<v Speaker 2>shows that people have still got on video cassettes that

0:07:51.364 --> 0:07:54.285
