Ratbag and Rascal Roadshow VIC, TAS and NSW

[jens coins]

Plan to go to other states but they don't let you know the places or dates and time until they lock in the dates and venues.
You have to check the RAM home page for regular updates.

Dubbo is next

Went out to Parramatta.

Sheesh.
Whilst I lived in the area 13 years ago, It's been about 5 years since I was last there.
The place hasn't changed. :lol:

God that Parramatta Mall (Centenary Square) is a dive. It's no wonder they used to film The Footy Show vox pops segments there.
Walking up to the RAMint pop up shop, there was a busker nearby, singing and playing his heart out on an acoustic guitar. A dero, meth-head walks right up to him, gets right in his face so the busker had to stop singing, and the drongo asks if he can plug his mobile phone USB charger into his guitar to charge.

LOL.

Stay classy Parramatta.


Seemed like a really really REALLY strange place to have a stall with coin-based money. An area which is wall to wall with people begging for loose change.

All major cities are like that nowadays unfortunately

I doubt if I went to Parramatta now, that I would be totally lost\.

Wife and I left that area in the early 1980"s as a result of my posting whilst in the Army and not been back since.

I suppose a lot of places that I have frequented in my early days have all changed considerably.

The guy on the far right on his phone is the man in charge, BTW. Can't remember his name though.

Yes he is one of the RAM people. I actually wouldn't mind that official RAM pullover that they are all wearing. I would buy one of those. :to_pick_ones_nose_eat:

They used to have a shirt with a big MOR dollar coin on the back. I'd like that one too.

I actually wanted to ask if they let me stamp a coin twice. But didn't think they will let me.
