There is Tony the taxi guy too. Is he a friend? Hard to say, we have to pay him royally to drive us to town. And we must get driven to town to get groceries. I only once caught a mini taxi in this area. Well actually a guy driving a mini pick-up stopped to enquire how long we had been waiting so the others i piled in the back. He took me to town. I told the motor bike salesman i caught a taxi,to check k what he would say if i had gone through with my desperate plans and gone with the locals. As almost expected, like most others i have talked with, he said ‘mate-you are lucky” , “if you walk into that taxi stand you will not walk back out again. This guy is a tank, a tattooed bike, head like a paint can sitting on top of a barrel and he says he is terrified so would ever go to the taxi stand. I believe him, taxi stands may be a dangerous place. I very well may not have walked out of there that day if i had walked in. But there was a lift, Dogtor jack happened to be in town so i rode home with him.
When it comes time to go to town for Ashley and i together, i have not since took a public taxi. It’s now exclusively Tony the taxi guy’s private ride for the Mobbs’.
