    Default Aussie Boats - 70's & 80's

    I was a boat and photo nut as a kid, grew up just down the road from a well known racecourse in Sydney, no longer used now. I could hear the boats whenever they were running. Spent most of my youth going to races following a few mates who raced 25HP's,

    I got a heap of these photos back that I hadn't seen in years, so thought I'd post a few.

    Feel free to look but if you want to use or repost, please send me a pm. thanks.

    Cheers

    Chris
