Layla The Sailor read by Sarah Snook (for #SaveWithStories )
To the sea they ran, and so began
the most unlikely tale:
A girl and a hound, horizon-bound,
as their little boat set sail.
A delightful rhyming story for adventurous children, companionable dogs, and friends who must say goodbye.

    I worked for the Dept of Main Roads in Sydney back in the early 60's and was a Bridge Maintenance worker, Part of my job was to trim down very large logs into what was called Headstocks and measured 14" x 14" logs. I used axes, crosscut saws and Broad Axe's and finished them with an Adze. I was very lucky not like our friend in the film by slicing through the top of my boot with the Broad Axe, it only cut my sock and just scraped my toes, had it been a bit deeper I would have lost the lot. It certainly was an art form to Jack up Pyrmont Bridge and replace the timbers 58 years ago, and to my knowledge they are still there. Bob Law.

    Jarrah and wandoo were used for railway sleepers but not karri because it is prone to rot and termite attack when in contact with the ground.Karri is an excellent structural timber however and was most commonly used in roof construction and was available in very long lengths.

    • @ThatGuyInTheShed
      @ThatGuyInTheShed Před 2 lety

      That's incorrect, the Pemberton mill supplied approximately 1.4 million Karri sleepers for the trans Australian railway. The contract specified Karri sleepers were okay as long as they were treated. Roughly 20% of the sleepers on our railway are Karri and most are untreated. They seem to last as well as the Jarrah ones but once rot gets into them they just turn to oatmeal. I'm yet to see termites in the Karri sleepers, they only get bug attacks after they rot by which time they're stuffed anyway. We do get termites in the Jarrah sometimes though. We have a small percentage of Wandoo sleepers, they're a pain to remove and they rot terribly in our very wet conditions. Still, all our Wandoo and Karri sleeepers are 40+ years old now so they've had a good run!

    What? The mayor of the town WAITED over 2 years to be interviewed in this horrific double murder? I'm sorry a mayor would not just wait around in 1991 even a partially forensically savy person would have been in touch with law enforcement asking to make a photofit to help the police to find the maniac! Come on if you have that type of information you can't just wait around like a perennial wall flower to be asked. Wouldn't you feel obligated to be proactive enough to contact the police until they take you seriously. Who knows maybe he did, although you'd think the author would have said more about it and the police would've been called out in a bigger way about their inadequate investigation!

    This crime was likely committed by a Serial Killer, on his way out of town, and the Country: In Australia, you may know him as Mr Cruel. In the US, we know him as The East Area Rapist, Original Night Stalker (Golden State Killer). Just 2 weeks prior to this murder in Portland, in April 13 1991, Karmein Chan was abducted in Melbourne (the only victim never released alive), and Mr. Cruel DISAPPEARED, never heard from or seen again. It’s my theory that he left Australia via a Merchant Ship or by seaborne vessel. He certainly wasn’t going to leave by airplane, considering the fact that the Planes flying on approach to Melbourne Airport was the factor that gave away his location, where he took his victims. This is a VERY INTELLIGENT, and highly skilled predator, who was as meticulous in planning, as he was prolific. You should really rethink your theory, madame. The man capable of such a crime, is not the guy you’re going to find playing rounds of golf and living the average life in a small port town.
