Lovely little boy?


This is me at my most cute. Things have gone down hill ever since. I am with my two older brothers.

Obviously I was born into a communications era quite different from the present. But be warned! I am not keen on generalisations about old people not being able to cope with computers.

A little history


This is a little story about me. A few historical facts and a few pictures about my favourite subject.

My father was a school headmaster and so we lived in quite a few country locations as he kept moving around, looking for the perfect place. In 1949 he took the bold step of applying to be Head of the new school at the Woomera Rocket Range in the far north of the state. So here I am with the whole family in about 1952 (me on the left).
As you can see, I look much the same now, though legs are probably not so elegant.
