It’s about 7,182 miles from where I live to the Broken Spoke Saloon. It’s about a 7.182 mile drive for Wayne, living now in Hope Island. Like the Giant Sombrero<\/a>, it’s a place I haven’t been to as yet, but unlike the big cement hat, it’s a place that seems a lot more interesting, certainly more stuff to look at. However, it is my understanding that the owner Malcolm may not be in the best of health, so my chances to wander through his shed have probably been reduced to slim and little.<\/p>\n

Years pass… Wayne has moved up north about an hour to Brisbane, but it may be that Malcolm has ‘moved on’ as well. At least the Broken Spoke has as it now appears to have become a garage. Hopefully, Malcolm simply sold it and has retired, and by that I mean he is still walking and talking…<\/p>\n
