  5. Gary,

    #36 Tony Macnevin – I went to university with him 1965/66 – does anyone know what happened to him since? He ended up working for the NSW geological survey, wrote quite a few books on diamonds and minerals etc.

  6. For the interest of any old mates who don’t know and should, Peter Dunshea, passed 17/05/2013 near Byron Bay – still living the dream.

  7. Every one was so young, hard to recognize some as the memories seem to be of later years. Sad news about the bone cracker Peter. There’s quite a few have passed sadly.
