Not necessarily. If only things were that black & white with people. Well, you know what I mean.

Not disputing his 'ard as Nails character though.

Skyhooks even wrote a song about him (and Queensland as it was then)

Well I've spent too long in the deep north,
The land of the big peanut
It ain't that great in the Police State
They burn down the hippies huts
They turn back the clocks a decade
They bust you for no reason
The sun shines the whole year 'round
The shotguns' still in season
Get me over the border, get me over the border
Down to New South Wales
The girls' are sweet & juicy
Oh so brown & blonde
But watch out for the young ones
You won't get no bond
They don't treat you too well
Down in Bogga Road jail
Make a break, make a break for the border
With the dogs running on your tail
Over the border put some wind in my sails
Over the border put some wind in my sails
Get me over the border down to New South Wales
It's a nice place to visit
But I wouldn't want to stay
I might want to march in the street some day
But ol' Joh won't let me have my say
So I'll get on down to Coolangatta
And get on my way
Get over the border
Get this rocket on the rails Put some wind in my sails
I got my foot to the floor I don't know what I went there for
Get out of Queensland I'm only going back with a gun in my hand
I got me a mango one day they're gonna hang Joh
Over the border put some wind in my sails
Over the border get my wheels on the rails
Get me over the border down to new south wales

George is Dead? Gosh, I never heard. Bloody Media!


Wasn't it most convenient where he died ie.
Died: 11 July 1937, Cedars-Sinai Medical Records Office, Los Angeles, California, United States


Talk about being in the right place at the wrong time. Medical Staff, Nurses, Porters & Clerical Staff right on hand so no mislaid paperwork there then..

Funny how Shirl moved to Queensland to reside, hey?

You must admit the song was close to the truth at the time. Ask any one who lived here, they will tell you it was probably the worst time to be living here. It was apparent each time I came home from Sydney on leave. That changed with the Fitzgerald inquiry.
