Didn't Lancaster auction a C.S. Yoxall ginger beer a while ago ? I'll see if I can find the catalogue and what it sold for.

Hi Irish
I follow Lancasters auctions, I did not see it. Just confirming it is a Yoxall Geraldton CS Giger Beer. I had the chance to buy on at a Perth National in 1979 for $90, I am still kicking myself.

Hi Kumtow
I will keep an eye out for a Chapman and Jose.

Hi Mark and Irish,
Sorry about the Mike bit, Mark. The Yoxall from Geraldton is sometimes confused with the Yonnex which I think is a Sheperton Vic bottle. I even heard once that the two companies were operated by the same family but I don't know if this is true. I think the Yoxall GB is the rarest Geraldton GB and as far as I know is followed very closely by the Waltho (small). There are apparently 2 sizes.

I don't know about Yonnex but there was a Yoxall in Wangaratta and North Fitzroy (had something to do with Moonee Vally Co) who used a range of bottles, some of them very good ones too. I know of the Geraldton Yoxall though (wouldn't mind one myself [] ).

G'Day Irish,
Yeah mate, you, me and a hundred other people. I would also like a Walter Foreman GB and Codd, small Waltho GB and codd and of course the ever elusive Chapman & Jose blue bomb. Sigh........[]

Hi Kumtow
Not to mention the two hybrids from Gero?

Hi Mark,
I know of one, Newmarracarra Station Champion Bay (early name for Geraldton) small hybrid. I know of one complete one found in Cossack and a couple of repaired ones. I heard a rumour about a Hoskin (I think) hybid from Gero but I have never seen one or a piece of one. Is this the second one????
Cheers Alan

Just following the discussion on hybrids - being a Queenslander, I have a soft spot (and an empty space on the bottle shelf) for any of the Charters Towers Hybrids - 5 varieties and 3 of them with the "Kangaroo" t/m.

Cheers,
