ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Do I qualify as I was one of the extras that travelled with the Lorne Green rodeo show when it toured Melbourne and Sydney show grounds . I would be dressed as an Indian at one stage the next time a Cowboy in between rodeo riding many tales could be told about that show but Lorne Green aca (Ben Cathright) and his wife treated us well

Amazing story, Bill!

Oooh I was a fan of Ponderosa Bill as a kid and always thought that Ben Cartwright was a fine upstanding role model of a Dad and I loved Hoss who was areal softie, and suave and good looking Adam but Michael Landon aka Little Joe was my favourite. His pictures graced my bedroom walls - they were the days

Didn't realize we had so many stars in our little group - it's quite humbling to be in such close proximity to fame

...and yet another hat, Heather!

Whoops! Where's it gone?

Let me guess, Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn?

Eye shadow too. Nice touch Stephen!

This has taken a most unexpected and disturbing turn!!!

Yes Neil, most disturbing is that they're 'city' folk - and they BREED!!! ...

They, Manfred? THEY? There was just one of me when I last checked!

Hmmmm, my brother was a convict in the series 'The Colony' - does that make me famous by association???? And he's a poet (well, sort of - he hasn't written for a long time!!)
