re: disgraceful rubbish -no!! Alecfra,
do you know Dave Thomas, the exDirector of Mines who was with Jim at the time? The story about Jim carrying him on his shoulders after he twisted his ankle looking at a chromite deposit-had to put him down every 200m or so to retrieve the next beer he had placed to cool off in the creek they were following on the way in.
Releasing a bag of live crays in the office of the purchaser of Walhalla as he was a bit slow in paying-secretaries screaming everywhere.
Drinking agent orange by accident from a used port flagon-where the coroner said his colleague passed away through death by misadventure after drinking same.
Telling his wife that he would be home after the last race at Flemington. Eventually turned up two weeks later after going to some remote island in Indonesia, explaining to his patient spouse, well it was after the last race!
Meeting some institutional types in the bush on a field trip in Gippsland and giving them fish that he had just caught-it was three day old gummy shark!
Driving back from Wedderburn to go to some Xmas cocktails in town-turns up despite the fact his appendix had burst on the way and spending the next two weeks in hospital.
The list is almost endless.
A heart of gold, unlike the directors of YAM!
Cheers,TAS
