1982 today. Sapphire Queensland

This is where I spent a birthday, in a place called Sapphire, Queensland.  The region is a mining area and for a few Dollars I purchased a Fossickers Licence and spent a month getting pissed whilst this lot dug for gems.

They were untypical Aussies.  Generous, comical, abusive and reserved; everything: sometimes all at once.

Today it is best we say thanks to OUR KITH and KIN.  Who in their right minds barred our families from coming to the land of their fathers yet give free access to millions who want nothing more than to destroy us?
