    This pic appeared in Pix on 26th August, 1950...in a feature article on Wollongong...

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/232852654 - Trove link to the Pix feature article...then scroll down a couple of pages...

    'Severely simple are the pleasures of Wollongong's motor-bike brigade. They prop their cycles against the curb, talk and joke, then explode off into the night.' - Pix's caption...

    A number of the other pics from this SLNSW series also appeared in the Pix feature article...

    I thought you might enjoy this photo www.flickr.com/photos/will_e_clickit/. Did you know the State Library was on Flickr?

    Chuck Walla My mum and dad were still in the throes of being first time parents when this was taken. I was not so much as a thought bubble.

    They would have been very disapproving of this sort of activity. My maternal grandfather, on the other hand, could well have been chucking. He fitted a sidecar to his Indian 500 when courting my grandmother.

    The guy in the middle right looks like he is from West Ham in London UK. He has the Hammers on his chest today used by West Ham United football club. When I was a young kid living in London UK I remember a speedway track in West Ham, Upton Park.

    I remember seeing that spectacle with my father, the fumes and the noise, the craziness and fatal crash feelings
