Not so long ago I went with my eldest to Hanging Rock - it's an amazing place and had never been there till a year ago - has a special spot in our family's heart as way back in the late 1990's we did our own version and called it "Don Rock". Don got to play little fat Eadie and Tom the Coachman - I was Mrs Applecart, Melissa Mme de Poitiers and Alison was of course Miranda - as you can see easily it wasn't rehearsed at all but we all knew the story... good times... has been a pretty rough patch this year - this daughter and I were defrauded of a lot of money we couldn't afford by a known criminal. etc etc - so things like this in simpler times feel pretty good to remember.
Here's the you tube of Don Rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb9dudfvuZg

Forty six years ago on 17th June Dad was hit and killed by a wealthy drunk driver.
He was never charged. Money talks. But every year since then I have lit a candle for my dad.
He is remembered and loved still. He was a good father and we were lucky to have him.
.we still have him in our hearts. He left school age 12 during the depression..
He went to work then helped look after his family. He never stop working till the day he died
Always he was looking after other people but even so he laughed easily, told jokes and was
a good firm but gentle father RIP my Dad.
Something amazing happened today which I can't talk about here right now but it happened
on my dad's anniversary and I'll always remember that.
About ten years ago i got the Coronial records - it was
a shocking miscarriage of justice. The driver a
businessman from Glen Innes had been on a pub crawl
down the highway but this was never mentioned even
though the Constable queried him - but as fate/ karma
had it many years ago I met a man who was
researching family history - found out we were third
cousins...turned out
he lived next door to this drunk driver. Turned out my
cousin and his wife helped this drunk driver's wife keep
her house as her husband was planning on moving a
mistress in and chucking out his wife and family...he
died a sad old man nobody cared about...whereas Dad
died and is remembered with love...could not believe
the coincidence that a close rello lived next door all
those years and finally we met.

Just IMAGINE... Stop what your doing right now and JUST IMAGINE ....
I had tears listening to this young man. I am just 60 and to hear this man tell it as I have felt all my life makes my heart swell. Listen to him and IMAGINE the world we could have so easily bar for our "leaders - bankers media etc" as he says "Do the right thing because it's the right thing to do" it's how I have tried to live and it works...
