Thanks for dropping by. This site was created to promote the interest in early Australian outboard Runabouts. I have long been a fan of outboarding since I was introduced to the fabulous sport in the 50s by my brother, the legendary Dickie Dixon.
Dickie's story could fill a novel and his adventurous spirit helped pioneer a sport that became popular in the 50s and peaked in the mid 70s. I'm refering here to waterskiing. In these early days, it was not uncommon to see Dickie's Caporn filled to the brim with local kids who plagued him to take them for a spin.
Dickie taught a multitude of people to water ski including yours truly. Hence I dedicate this site to Dick Dixon.
Just in case you missed the intro, here is the link:
