Yep, a few famous aussies have 'gone west' in the past week or so.

I met Peter Brock a years ago at a local Christmas concert in Plenty, north of Greensborough/Eltham. I remember that he had a run-in with GM about putting a small black box in their cars to line up the atomic structure so the cars go better!
I think he was a scientologist. (something like that).
He was a well known local and as a kid he was a bit of a hero of mine, my brother went to school with his brother ect.
Everyone here in Norway knew the Croc-hunter from TV.
(Of course no-one knew Don Chip here).

Time to go home,

God bless every one of you!:)

The words the song are very powerful ....hit her without swinging, left her without leaving!
