fallen soldiers; "SLIPSTREAM"
Bonnie Doon regulars will be familiar with this old girl that has been hangin around Maindample way for donkeys now. A sad sight at first until you think about the millions of smiles she's provided to passers-by over the years ...R.I.P. 'Slipstream'
She was put to rest by the pub owners (pub was next to tree until it burned down) in creek bed that is below that tree but the powers that be said that was polluting the waterway so she was then hoisted into the tree, I'd guess she's been there for better than ten years!
My brother and I owned this boat for maybe 5 years . Had a 192 inline 6 in it , ran perfect . We sold it to bloke who hit a stump in the lake and smashshed the hull. He sold it to the owner of the pub who planned to fix it up but never got around to it. Hope it stays there for years to come .
My dad hit the stump in the lake. It was hidden below the water line. It was a beautiful boat and we loved it. It’s fun to see her hanging in the tree on the rare occasion we are heading to Mansfield.

Poor old girl sitting up there with her tongue hanging out.
