I get homesick, they breed and while we all love Bambi, the buggers are so destructive... Its been fifty years since I was on those tops... Once seen never forgotten. I still recall just how the lads showed the airforce how to fly helicopters. Great blokes all!

We lived on the west coast at the Carter Merchants settlement in 1966 and 67. My father worked for them I was 6 years old it was the best time of my and my two brothers lives.Dad used to take us to Jackson 's bay to fish. There was a old lady who used to surf cast off the beach at high tide and catch 4 foot sharks one I saw was a hammer head. Good times
