Very intriguing, indeed. Thanks for seeking out and telling the stories. Did I ever tell you my dad wrote a book about his time in Vietnam? Maybe you’d be interested in reading it? I wonder if you, he and Charles would have had a good time paling around.

Comment on A Country Finger by Franko

So what happens when you don’t get it right and you can ‘hear’ all the comments of the driver who has just passed you? Your ‘ears burn’ and you know that he has glanced in the rear view mirror to check the number plate or dogs tied up on the tray to see if he recognises you. In this day and age you also know that he hasn’t seen your rifle lying hidden under a canvas cover on the dash board so there is an automatic assumption that you are not a local.

The answer? Buy a GME UHF radio, leave it on channel 40, pick it up and have a yarn about weather, where you are heading and have a whinge about those city drivers out here who don’t know how to raise a finger!

Would like to communicate directly via e-mail with Pickledeel about Herbert Money’s memoirs. Netta was my father’s sister, so Herbert was my uncle by marriage. Look forward to hear from you.
