His mates have a drink with him often. Taken too young.

There is an amazing story behind this memorial.
When this bloke was just twenty years old he had a motorbike accident which parallelized the lower half of his body.
Did this stop him, NO . At the time he was running cattle on a property on the eastern side of the Flinders Ranges. He continued to run this property untill he passed in the year two thousand and fifteen aged sixty seven.
I had the privilege of working on his every day transport and early Landcruiser. He used this vehicle with no modification, yes it was, is a manual. He used it for shooting with gun racks and bars, and by all accounts he was not too bad a shot. I believe he started it in gear and use only the hand throttle, and hand brake. When I had a pedal in it I could not fault the c lutch , gearbox or brakes.
One remarkable man .
He is buried in the Orroroo cemetery with a headstone very similar to this one which is situated on the property where he lived.Attachment 82905
Wouldn`t be a real Aussie site with out this one.Attachment 82907
When I visited the Beechworth cemetery in two thousand and eighteen I came across this memorial.
Now I know cemetery's are quiet and solemn places but I had a little chuckle.
On the gate into the cemetery which was only around fifteen meters from this memorial and the grave was a sign saying to keep the gate shut as there was a rabbit plague and the warrens were a danger to domestic petsAttachment 82915
I am running late again, am away camping so will keep this comp going until Monday when I will do the count. We had no entries for March so a few more would be good. Make sure to vote for your favourite.
