Does anyone know or know of, an electrician from the Warkworth area in the 70s, who bought a Ford Falcon?
I've had a customer whose friend has bought an old falcon and he's pretty sure it's his dad's old car. All he can remember is his dad sold it to a Warkworth electrician in the 70s.
Do you know of the electrician, the car or anything that this chap can connect the dots and verify the authenticity of his mate's car?

To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.
However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:
