Do You hear There – Posts

Pete Retallick Weighs in!

OK. I want to add a comment to this lot. To refresh my memory I’ve been trying to read all the previous comments but most seem to have disappeared from the site or maybe its my navigation – geez I hate computers.

Message for Sam – I dictate Sam, Elaine does the typing these days.

Hey Trotty, we lost touch. Thought I’d never hear from you again. Tried to find you but that’s another story. Hope you still have that wonderful and spontaneous sense of humour (young fella). Laughter was quite therapeutic during the uncertain times in Leeuwin, and we certainly did plenty of that. Do you still follow Essendon? We need to catch up.

Nobby – when were you in Tarangau? I was there for 12 months in 1968 (only 40 years ago). Does anybody know the whereabouts of/or heard from Trevor (Bart) Bartholomew?

Gooday Rocky! Allan/Pony/Farmer, it doesn’t matter what they call you because you have done a good job with this site. I find the navigation a bit confusing but thats me and computers. Whatever happend to that girl from Wingham that you tried to attach me to? Hope she’s had a happy and fulfilling life.

To everybody, please do me a favour. When we meet in Freeo next year, let’s spend Sunday afternoon playing snooker and drinking milkshakes at the Seamans Misson – Oh, and if someone can lend me a quid, a feed of fish at the fish market. Come on, that would be wild (lol). Now, on a more serious note, tonight is NRL state of origin night – GO THE BLUES!!!!!!

New Photo Album Routine

Fantastic photos Barry – even the “Archerfish”. Beautiful photo of the whaler under sail on the Swan – I think Winjan must have been “special”.

The routine for uploading photos has changed as it has proven to be difficult to achieve. All you have to do now is to go to your Dashboard, click on the Star beside Upload/Insert. In the next dialog box click Select files – go to the directory on you hard drive, select the photo, click Open then Click Save Changes. close the screen by Clicking on the X at the top right hand side.
email me after you have uploaded and I willl add them to the gallery. Enjoy!

Photos appearing here on leeuwin3rd.allanmoore.com are posted by or on behalf of the authors for the enjoyment of our readers. Allan (Farmer) Moore takes no responsibility for any posted material.

Hi Allan

Great to see your website. Brings back a lot of long forgotten memories of a hard but good intro to pussers. Hi to any fellow oldtimers who may remember me, Have sent some photos that may be of interest and also an old handwritten legend for the group photo that you already have on the site Allan. It has names and nicknames as they were in 61-62. I look forward to seeing who else may appear on your site and seeing other photos that people may have.

Regards

Barry Grierson

Derek Hasel remembers the good times rowing and sailing on the Swan. I agree it was fun but it was HARD WORK!

Having had a daughter as an Australian International rower the crew above are really crook! The man in the bow has “caught a crab” where he has dug the oar in at such an angle that it wouldn’t come out of the water! But no one told us these things did they?
