Matt, will remember the sometimes serious yarns, the more regular not so serious ones, the laughs over an ale or three. And the late afternoon a couple of cobbers ‘forgot us’ and we had to walk from the track to the Shammie under a (broken) brollie in pouring rain. Liked ya from the time I met ya when visiting Steve C in hospital and will miss ya face when the old car next winds into Balranald. Sween from the West.
