Searching for Brompton's BMX Bandits

The year is 1984.

Australian kids have gone mad over PJ, Goose and Judy.
Cruising the streets of Bowden-Brompton, Adelaide, is our very own pack of BMX Bandits.

They are:
Royce, George, Jodie, Scott, Paul, Jamie, Darren, Jason and Brenton.

Their turf:
Green Street Playground track - but not enough jumps so they take to the streets.

It was wondered, "where will the Bandits be in the year 2001?!!!".

So where were the Bandits in 2001 and where are they now? The Bandits would now be 35 to 40 years of age and we are asking for your help in tracking them down!

This story is just one of many that the City of Charles Sturt is hoping to uncover as part of a history walking route through the suburb of Brompton.

Post a comment to share your stories of the Bandits, and to leave clues to help us find them!
