Melodeon in Tasmania
« on: March 08, 2017, 02:06:35 PM »

Just got back from Tasmania and jet lag is horrible. However in the outback at Eagle Hawk Neck there was a chap selling veg from the back of his truck. On the front seat was an exquisite Hohner pokerwork in G/C ancient and in unplayed condition. It had a price tag on it of A$ 150.00. Wow I said I'll buy it.
No you bloody won't he said, I've just found it in a junk shop in Hobart.
The bargains are still out there.
