Sunfish ol sport
a long long time ago I worked in the bottle shop in a town... ah, shall we say "similar" to the one under discussion.
Yeah OK I worked at Vaggy's.... it was a good job
and a good education
Oombi then was a dry community and the president of the community council made it very, very clear that any air charter company caught bringing booze into the community would be banned from Oombi forever.
That made life very difficult for Ord Air (as was), being the closest provider of transport to the closest source of booze. The pilots and staff of Ord were very dilligent in ensuring that no grog got on the planes.
The president, meanwhile, brought his boat into town, it was loaded up to the gunwhales, and he set sail back up the mighty Forrest River with his monopoly unmolested by the Yankee Capitalist Sky Pirates you so deplore
I went up the Kimberley straight from Uni with stars in my eyes and my (bleeding) heart on my sleeve.
I returned with my eyes wiiiiide open, scars inflicted by those I tried to help, and a tale my Sydney acquaintences wouldn't believe.
Too many shades of grey in this world for judgements & moral outrage
