I responded to a MM recently and talked about the good work Ken Maidment has done in restoring a number of wells, and a bore along the Canning Stock Route (Wells 12, 15, 18, and a bore close to 49).

In a recent post, I was rightly taken to task for not mentioning Eric. To make matters worst, I didn't talk about the contribution of David Hewitt (Well 26) and Peter Vernon (Well 46) back in the 80's (never met the last two fellas).

So when you pull your water, you'll know who provided it.

Regards

Kim

Sorry Kim, I didn't mean to sound so harsh in that previous post, (if that is the one you are referring to) I didn't know that you were aware of Eric's & Ronnie's input into the CSR.

Dunworkin

No problems at all. I don't express myself very well and need people like you to pull me up from time to time.

We had a bit of fractured relationship with Eric for a time, but things settled down.

Des Bunter from Geraldton has done a lot of upkeep of well 6 and other areas.
He is a top bloke as well.

Thanks David. Thats him. We camped at Pierre Springs with him this year. He was playing backup to a few bikies (including his son) who were doing some of the CSR. Had a good long chat. It would be great if we had a way to chip in to help the projects he and others have been doing - either with a few dollars or labour.
Could EO and members play a role?
