G'day out (over) there,

Kathryn: "Is it a fictional place?? I figure it is in Australia. Lost my Aussie map."

I can't find it on my 1:1,000,000 Atlas of Australia, so it is either very small ... or not there.

Callie: You wouldn't be casting aspertions on the veracity of the bloke I saw on Sunday 20 1959, in the old kangaroo enclosure at Taronga Zoo, promoting his new 45 rpm record (A side: Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport and B side: My Pal Al K. Hol)? That was the weekend after my 14th birthday and I climbed a tree and took some pictures with my new sub-miniature (16mm rollfilm) Kiku 16 camera.

Rolf saw me and asked about the camera (and I sent him some flyspeck sized contact prints!) - he gave me an autographed wobble board (long since wobbled to death by my little brother).

Actually Rolf has occasionally wandered past some of my friends playing as in Bush Band in Sydney's 'Rocks' area. He used to produce a didgeridu and join in, but his agent stopped him. Said that a man whose performance was worth so much shouldn't jam in with common folkies ... and it didn't pay a commission, either!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
