Wow thanks for all the interest .. life really is wonderful and there are plenty of negative people out there but many more who are positive and soul enriching like you folks.
It seemas as though everytime I'm about ready to post pics something aweful happens - I just spent the last month or so setting up an office in Bega and the landlord decided to sell the building .. bugger .. had to move all my stuff out and back to the hovell lol. So it's back to posting from the library again
I found Wally my hand raised wombat dead on the road several days ago - after all that work. He was rescued after being flung from his mothers pouch when she was struck by a car and now he has suffered the same fate (even though few cars pass my part of the forrest and the local wombats run when they hear a car).
I have co-written a book due out in May (a history of the Tanja Goldfields - boring as mouse scat to anyone but the locals) and am currently writting two books, one recording my memories of growing up a wild JW and one recording local men's photos and stories before they drop off the perch (the old blokes here have some interesting stuff - stories like watching from the local wharf as a japanese sub attacked and sunk an american liberty ship to ancient artifacts scrounged from the forests .. an aeroplane that crashed within 10 kms of my place but has never been found. ..
what's a gyneological society? as if the watchtower society was intrusive enough into secret womens business.
cheers folks - sorry I can't reply (run off at the mouse) to you more personally .. I have friends down from the Kimberly and if I treat them real nice they might invite me on a five week canoe trip down the Drysdale river .. eating what we catch and contemplating the stars ..
best wishes, and thankyou for the uplift unclebruce
Uncle Bruce I am still waiting for you to post those great stories when you were a missionary in New Guinee
Barry - when I first went on the web I wrote about my doorknocking experiences with priests and hippies and such and was branded a liar or even of plagerizing Gary Busselmans Okies .. so you see why I'm a tad hestitant about recalling my experiences with witchdoctors and stuff .. I've written quite a few PNG stories but then bottled out of posting them - cowardly person thaty I am .. but I'll troll my memory gland just for you and post when I can .. and the first person that calls me a liar will get a boot up the claker! lol
