Bits’n’Pieces This photo was taken in about 1957 and is of the Swift Service Station at Morningside which was run by Fred and Avery Dyke. Fred and his daughter, Yvonne, were founding members of the Club and this Nuffield dealership became a ‘de facto’ Club headquarters in the Club’s early days. Yvonne contacted the Club recently to advise us of the death of Dave Williams who took this photo from the middle of Wynnum Rd! We were saddened to hear of Dave’s death but, thanks to him, we have this wonderful photo which was reproduced on the cover of the January 2010 Octagon and an enlargement, donated by Dave, is on display in the Clubrooms along with information on the people and cars in the photo. It’s almost as if no ‘Bits and Pieces’ section would be complete without some wildlife photos from Mt Cotton working bees. On the left is a cormorant ready to take advantage of the waters of the dam; below is one of the resident goannas who made their presence felt at the December hillclimb! This one was photographed near the office as if waiting for an event to get underway! (Photo by Jim Heymer) Such was Ross Letten’s desire to be part of the festivities at the Club’s Christmas get together that he had his own personalised transport to provide mobility for his leg which had suffered damage in a boating incident. He topped off his dramatic entry by wearing a festive hat and ensuring he had a basket for carrying his ‘goodies’. The Octagon - January 2017 9
