A big THANK YOU to John Stanley, an ex Brisbane resident who used to live at Bowen Hills and walk to the Ekka every Saturday night during those "Golden Years" of the 1960s. John now lives in Sydney and has been generous enough to share his memories of those years with us on "Vintagespeedway". Thanks, John.
