Sorry Ann, after a while one gets so complacent when talking about home and the next town etc.... the town near where i was brought up is Trundle NSW Australia , the only boost to fame was its wide main street, wide enought for a 20 bullock team to turn around in the old days... and the biggest town to that was Parkes NSW Australia and its fame is the radio telecope, and this is the one they made the movie about called " The Dish", ( mainly about collecting signals from the first manned flight/walk on the moon.... and playing cricket on the dish...) thanks Ann for doing that, just sharing my memories with all the others.... Hope everyone have an enjoyable. safe and happy day and appricate the effects of others love to all Warren Job Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann (Jobe) Brown" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 24, 2004 11:38 PM Subject: Re: [JOB] Xmas Memoirs - Warren Job - Australia - Part 1 > Warren, > Thanks so much for posting your Christmas Memories.
