Nadia this is a very generous contribution to the history of significant people in Australia back then. Such objectivity and passion. Thank you for both the details and the style.

It makes me feel that I would have liked to have know him

Those were the days my friends

Thanks, Mark. I had to pull out all stops to try to do Martin justice. We should just get together and talk about writing some time... xxx
