My favourite bit is a mayor of Mudgee saying nose-in angle parking couldn't be adopted because people wouldn't stop in Mudgee to shop. They would just drive straight to Dubbo to shop instead - where they don't have reverse angle parking.

My surname should be Cobcroft. But it isn’t. Because my grandfather was a bookie in Sydney. Owed people money. Had to leave with his family. Escape to Mudgee. Ron Cobcroft became Don Crawford. Because of gambling.
