Hello Albert,

A magnificent E-mail and I totally agree with you having experienced bush
fires whilst a teenager cutting railway sleepers in the Wattagan Mountains,
the Barrington Tops and in the Dorrigo area.
I reiterate the words of John Laws "may the GRENN snivel libertarians
P....Off"
My apologies for the above but from past experiences I feel extremely
strongly about this subject

Regards to all
Wal Towells
Newcastle
