This looks like Bolivar Road at Salisbury North during some flash floods in 1983.

magic mountain was awesome.

Went to the beach house a couple of years ago with my then 3 year old nephew and whilst it was fun, it probably took less than 2 hours to burn through $50 (though that included me playing some games too)

Did Davoren Park even exist in 1983, besides masses of paddocks? :lol:

Davvo was formerly Elizabeth Fields and Elizabeth West, they changed to Davoren Park to lose the stereotype.

I lived on the road that ran alongside the train line - if your train was ever hit by rocks/fruit north of the Munno Para train station, it was me and my mates. It's amazing what you think is harmless fun when you're kids.

Funnily enough, a poster who's been busy on this thread used to live about five houses down from my old house.

Munno Para was full of RAAF housing. We lived on the tracks for a couple of years.

The RAAF housing was all up the southern end of the Munno.
I used to know a few RAAF brats and spent a fair bit of time down that end there.
