Default anyone from or live near Tooleybuc, NSW?

Hey all, I'm after a piece of information....
Two years ago I was on my way to summernats with my wife (it was our honeymoon lol), and we were passing through a small town where we stopped for a burger. as we were leaving the town we passed a panel beaters shop, and i had to stop and talk to the guy about an old falcon parked out front. got talking about some other stuff, and he had something tucked away that i was dead keen on buying, but couldn't fit in my car :(

I started thinking about it again yesterday. its a bit of a long shot, but he might still have it sitting there...
at first i couldn't even think of the name of the town, but i remembered where we had the burgers, a shop called 'Lucky Phil's' (hey, they were good burgers, and my name is phil lol).
so i did a search in the yellow pages online and found the only 'lucky phil's' in NSW was in tooleybuc. that rang a bell...
also the big bridge with the centre section that lifts for the riverboats was the other thing i remembered.

But the one thing I can't think of is the name of the panel shop :(
i couldn't find anything online either..
as you come into tooleybuc from the adelaide side, you come over the bridge, turn left, theres a park on your left and lucky phil's is on the right. you go approx. 100m along the road, then turn right, then left again, and you're on the main road out of town. the panel shop is on your right as you leave town.

i *think* thats how it goes lol...

soooo..... can anyone help me out at all? is there anyone here that lives there, or near there, or is passing through sometime soon and can check it out for me? it would be VERY much appreciated

cheers,
Phil.

oh, and sorry for the long boring post (bet you thought it was going to be interesting lol)

There's a panel shop in Tooleybuc?

There's a burger shop in Tooleybuc?

There's civilisation in Tooleybuc?




I used to go over there and around the Hay plains as a shearer years ago. I've still got mates that go do the shearing rounds over there, but that area was always mid- Autumn or early/mid Spring. Bugger.

If a closed in trailer with a lid is what you need though, sing out.

It's a 7X4 mate. 18" high sides with a hard, removable lid.

2 tonne rated (has brakes). She's made pretty tough, so empty, would probably weigh around the 400-500kg mark.

If you look after it, which I'm sure you would, you're welcome to borrow it.

Just to put a face to the name, that was you in the black XC with your missus that was at the back of the pack driving next to/ behind me on that cruise we had on Friday 5th May, when we all got seperated, and finally pulled into KFC?

i was by myself in the XC on that cruise, in the purple/black XC with the MIS351 plates. you might be thinking of 'thefargo' (also called Phil) in his black XB coupe.
