In the 1970s early two contractors worked around Southern 'New South Wales' and Gundagai town.' Stationed at the riverside park, at the rear of a garage With pit and pumps all as part, now Tom and Matt Got a surprise..One of their machines got shuggared Inside.' You might know of what i talk? A compeditor Wanted their buisness to walk.' Its still a mystery to This day' who did the dirty..Shall we say, and at the time A contract was to start, but on telling the owner of garage And park, Matt was told as he passed onto, that evening The son who ran the workshop, could be consulted upon How long it would take? Thats if he could fit in cleaning This engine damaged within, all the had been cut to pieces Around four feet in sections, so whoever had ment to do damage serious.' The very next day Tom walked over to Matt, g'day mate he said..Hows it look? Where are we at Well I really don't know? To be straight said Matt this mans Son said he'd help.' Yet he's blind as a bat.' Like he wears Glasses Tom cut in..No they'd be no help, Tom real blind Thats the thing.' How long will it take thats my thought he Go's by feel he's completely self taught, he told me any Studys he did in braille, It could take a month.? And will Our ship even sail? He said he's real busy but feels its Wrong what was done, so he'd put us forward..Well what Else can go wrong.? Well we'll have to manage with my Machine it it takes a month,? Thats now the scene' I mean I offered to help him but he wasn't too keen' Tom said at Least you tried lets leave it with lets order new hoses.' We'll have to dip in the bin.' Conversation over they Wen't to bed agreeing an early tommorow the sky was red' At the week end the owner came calling told them to see His son.' They thought maybe it was too appalling.? When they entered the garage that machine was humming This blind mechanic's work was stunning the thing looked Better than ever before..And his price was modest..They Offered him more' look take double mate your worth each Cent.' No you got treated bad and you're paying dad rent I didn't feel happy it happened in my town, whoever it was Let Gundagai down.' Well i've pulled it apart and cleaned Each tube, as far as engines go, its health should stayj rude They said you're one i a million mate, no one could do Better, you fingers worked wonders, to the T if not better We're glad to know you. Your a credit to this town twenty Galah's like the one who did this.' Won't damage its Reknown.' Well they often told that tale o'er the years how A hero mechanic, allayed any fears, how they did the job And paid their way, thanks to an everyday hero down Gundagai way.'
