However, I desperately needed to wash my hair that day!<br /><br />It is interesting to read the newspapers of the day in their library. Great little room that. Like being in a gaming lodge in Africa, I imagine.<br /><br />I suspect there are quite a few stories like this all around Australia of which few of us are aware.<br /><br />The entire O'Reilly story is an inspiration, and I recommend to readers to take a punt and travel up their mountain. Just the bird life makes it immensely worth while.<br /><br />Thanks for this post to TT, Diane.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-66361897203911214342012-02-29T14:50:11.692+10:002012-02-29T14:50:11.692+10:00What an interesting pictorial memorial to this unf...What an interesting pictorial memorial to this unfortunate group of men.

I have the greatest admiration for people who risk their lives for others in this way, whether voluntarily as Bernard did, or as organized search and rescue workers. I agree it is just tragic about James Westray, who died while trying to get help. He was one of the brave few, as well.<br />KKay L.
