Must get along to see it. He was an institution in Brisbane, still cruising from the '50s.
The Queen St Mall really killed things for him unfortunately.

I remember seeing him in Queen St as a kid. Then as an adult I lived near him in West End for 20 years. We had the same barber and would stop and say gday now and then.
Can’t tell if you're serious or trolling hard. The internet has dulled my sarcasm receptors.
