Dunedoo Centenary of Rail

This coming weekend, the town of Dunedoo will be celebrating its centenary of rail. When I started school, at Dunedoo Central School, I was living in a tent at the foot of the slope at the end of the platform at Dunedoo railway station. The picture below is my family's tent, although the picture was taken before we moved to Dunedoo.

FSB Balmoral, May 1968

I've written an addendum to my story of the battle at FSB Balmoral, because of new information I've received from one of the key participants in an incident in which one of my mates was threatened with a charge of cowardice.

Under the Milky Way Tonight

Today I have added the lyrics and guitar chords for Under The Milky Way Tonight, by the Church, to the My Song Book page in my web site.

Allergic Reaction to Cortisone Injections

As of today, my body has been covered with itchy red spots for exactly seven weeks. Seven weeks and one day ago, on the 9th of August, I had cortisone injections in the facet joints at L5-S1, in my lower back. Coincidence? I think not. Doctors tell me I can’t be allergic to cortisone, but nothing else in my life changed on the 9th of August. The purpose of cortisone injections is to give weeks or months of pain relief, so it is clearly intended to remain in the body for that long. What else could I have possibly been exposed to on that day, that could stay in my body for seven weeks and counting?
