    Landline story on Tom Kruse

    Back of beyond, Bob




    Back of Beyond - Landline - ABC
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I cracked up over this bit:

    Both Heyer and Farwell quote Birdsville policeman Sergeant McDonald's laconic entry into the police journal of 1888.

    It says "January 22. Thomas Turner appears to be out of his mind. Sub-Inspector Sharpe shot himself on the police station verandah this afternoon. Another hot day."

    Tom was a great character. Had a couple of opportunities to spend a few hours with him chatting over a few pints...

    Each time the stories came thick and fast...

    A tough guy with a great heart and a love of the outback and its people.

    I saw the repeat of that Landline program today. A TOP story.
    I will try to get the DVD.
