The figure on the left leaning on his elbow is my son. The boat is leaving HMAS Stirling in WA.

"You'll never take me alive" said he,
And his ghost may be heard if you pass by that billabong
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"

That is a good shot.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Sure am. He wanted to be a submariner from just a young age when one of our subs came to Cairns on a goodwill visit. He has some hair-raising stories though, and interestingly enough, a combat decoration earned in the subs.
