Their drinking hole was The Hero of Waterloo and he told stories about ensuring he had a couple of bob to get his shout in the 6 o'clock swill, then a red rattler to Rockdale and a walk to Brighton Le Sands.He later took an office job when kids started coming. The office was at 47 Young Street Sydney. He later went to manage Gunnedah branch 1964-74 then Moree 1974-80 then was "sold" to Dalgety to fund the I'll conceived Jumbo Wool Bale concept which brought about 5he demise of Grazcos.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893366411630990603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34645388.post-90196416490448314382017-04-14T04:40:53.271+10:002017-04-14T04:40:53.271+10:00Would love to visit this store - anything to do wi...Would love to visit this store - anything to do with wool has my attention!
