Coincidentally Shirley is a member of my BMW Motorcycle Club of Victoria and was an ABC journo when I flew their news helicopter, so I've flown with both her and Jerry. She and her husband Brian are renowned travellers with their own books of their motorcycle adventures around the globe.
She is also the daughter of Frank Hardy, author of Power without Glory, an Australian literature classic. He was a staunch communist and a challenge to the establishment, his book should be read by anyone with an inquiring mind.
I look forward to seeing Jerry's latest book soon, no doubt someone can write an appreciation here in due course?
