Oak Milk Bar Restaurant at Freeman's Waterholes just out of town had a very popular past.

Several Oak Milk bars operated in the region possibly before the advent of other fast foods and Oak rivalled them in every way.

Perhaps the trade routes change. Passing trade changes. An outdoor picnic area, under the trees is overgown and the miner's memorial has been relocated. 



Oak Flavoured Milk originated in the Hunter. Companys change. The brand is now owned by Parmalat - a mulitnational Italian dairy and food corporation. UHT milk is a specialization of theirs as well as the production of all dairy products in all the continents.  The company survived a colourful period of financial goings-on involving fraud and hugh losses (surrounding the CEOs in Italy). Sponsorship of Formular One was another hughly appropriate interest of theirs. Well, milk is wonderful value for money and is full of protein, calcium and....and fat (as well as other vital stuff).

A name like Freeman's Waterholes  must date back to the days of early settlement.

Forging ahead on the country road. New government yesterday and already broadband connectivity has picked up speed! Not quite - my telco has just gone freaky.
When is an  Independent MP not an independent? Do they retain options and know how to use them? I think so.They havn't exactly 'gone over' as accused.

Imagine an MP having a safe seat like Newcastle and your future largely assured. That sure is something to bestow only on a very worthy individual. 

The years roll on. Just imagine, women have the last laugh once male chauvinists find themselves in the 'health' care settings. But women simply (n)ever think of exploiting this! What has to be taken into account is that some old males would have never heard an assertive women in their lives, nor rarely been advised what to do.  Some other women perpetuate chauvinist ways. My cynical coda to Fathers day.

My gross weight: 82kg (-5kg)  It is clear that in order to lose weight one has to be much more obsessive about limiting food. Social times with food and eating out play on my weaknesses.

Open road? my telco does not even provide dial-up speed connectivity while in the 'shaped' phrase. Something is fast using up the hi-speed allocation.

Australia Post moment.
