Title: The demise of the billycart
Post by Kevin Cryan on Today at 08:19

Those of us who recall Clive's many, hilarious retellings of his Kogarah billycart racing adventures, and especially his story of how, on one memorable occasion, our little hero having hurtled downhill at a speed that became uncontrollable, he ended up in Mrs Braithwaite's prized poppy garden on the Irene Street corner (see photo courtesy SJB) will probably be interested in this story that appeared in The Sydney Morning Herald on June 14th 2008.
