Hi gang...no, not a technical post, just an interesting input, I thought.
Was camped up at a place called Snowy Creek in the high country, doing a spot of rough draft paintings, and thought I was the only person on the planet, as I had found what I thought was a fairly secluded area. However, whilst preparing my evening meal over a rough red ( love rough red!) dog started barking, and on looking up, saw a 4x4 with a camper in tow pulling into my camp area.
The couple on board alighted and approached to ask if they could share the campsite. Low and behold! The guy was a person that I have not seen in around 15 years! He was in the RAAF with me, and served in SE Asia at the same time as me. He was not married when I knew him then, so he introduced me to his wife, a lovely lady. Apparently they had moved to Victoria about a year ago from Brisbane, and are now living around Bendigo! As I live at a place called Kyneton, we are almost neighbours! Anyway, we shared a few reds that night, and relived the past for a while.
He is now retired, and he and his wife are about to head off around Australia, so we are discussing plans to meet up somewhere out there when it all happens! Small world, aint it! I mentioned this website to him in passing, so we may have another member soon! By the way, he bought one of my paintings! Good weekend for all concerned!
Regards
Bronco
