Hi David
We have vast areas as behind the placard board but few through roads. With downturn of wool, pines have been introduced; these attract logging trucks and it is the end of narrow winding roads. The changes over just 20 years are very noticeable and when can remember clearly back 50 and much more very dramatic. Metalled roads severely corrugated are and were not ideal territory for Sevens. We often used to go to a beach 25 miles out of town. My father read in a copy of the Road code how to correct a skid. His observation "I am doing that constantly all the way there and back" (on corrugations the rear repeatedly shudders around as in a spin. Much later hydraulic s.as. largely cured). Perhaps also explains why axle eyes were such a problem.
