I often wonder what he meant as well Ivan. JS
The last time I saw him alive was about 25 years ago when he came out here for a visit. He was staying at my sisters , as I was still working mainly up north and both him and my mother were due to fly back within days I went round to say cheerio before I disappeared back to work. He said on parting I probably won’t see you again , but I’m happy that I outlived my father who was 79 when he died, and my old man was then 80 . However he said you won’t be long behind me , thanks I said , just to be awkward I am endeavouring to prove him wrong by as many years as possible. He died within 6 months on return to the UK. JS

The one in Karlgoole in WA takes tourists round in groups , ask Brian he’s done the tour . None of this sneaking furtively in the back door , it’s front door or nothing .
They are also in Perth and other parts of the state. How do I know ? A little dickie bird told me ..cheers js
