Hi Manfred
It doesn't matter whether you're Qld or parts of WA - the story still fits, as do different characters.

Cheers Terry

You paint a vivid picture, Manfred. It is easy to imagine Dan sitting on the porch at the end of the day, toying with his hat, his dog by his side.

I take it this has been set to music??

Thanks for that Allan, Dan's picture, as well as a few of "Cork" are in the Piccies section.
Yes, it's being put to music as we speak ... :D
