If we were too small to lift the bales, Dad would do it while we steered the ute,” ………….“We were considered the wildest, most conservative bunch of blokes in the state,”……..“I remember [Farmer X] riding a Vespa on campus at over 100 km per hour with nothing but a pair of shorts and a girl’s night bonnet on.”…….“We marched on Anzac Day on April 25th, 1965,” he said. “It was the 50th anniversary of Gallipoli, it was huge, and I remember fifty plus veterans from the district marching, with a few World War I veterans. Dr Neil Joseph was the officer commanding them during the march and was barking out the orders.” ………….
