Fond memories of charters to Hungerford, Wanaaring, Ford's Bridge
and some other bywash. And Jack Crawford's place Budgerigah, out past Wanaaring. He'd been buzzed once too often as he'd always park the ute under a big tree after waving the indestructible young Bourke based pilots off.

Trips to many outback pubs with the Fesq and Company traveller in Red Mill Rum were also memorable. Charlie kept to a couple of samples in his valise along with his Colt 45.
he could do a good rendition of -

On the outer Barcoo where churches are few

and men of religion are scanty

(Bush Christening)
