Yes I did. Bricks and containers..... he has a way.
I imagine the two would have shared many a beer together.

Sad about Jim Keays. Before the Masters gained popularity, Jim used to do the odd jam session with my brother's band, and he seemed a really nice guy. He used to see me in the back yard bowling cricket balls and nicknamed me Richie Benaud :)

How did I miss this?

Is the only actor I've seen upstage Clint, he was simply awesome in TGTBTU.

Legend.

Peter Sculthorpe, aged 85.
Great Australian composer, although certainly not pleasing to the ear for many.

It's a shame that most people would not have heard of Percy Grainger, let alone Sculthorpe. Modern 'classical' music isn't really on the radar for most people these days, particularly the Australian variety.
 
I saw Lauren on the stage many years in Melbourne. Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth, I believe.

Man she was glamorous, we hung out at the stagedoor to catch a glimpse of her post performance.

She left wearing a fur coat, sunglasses, carrying a huge bunch of flowers, looking every inch the Hollywood star.

quite rinocially, given the play she was performing in, there was a young guy waiting in the back of the car.

RIP.

I saw the same production. It was 1990 IIRC. The backstage crew (of who I knew several) could not speak highly enough of her.

Sic transit gloria.

Massively influential for current Australian composers.

Though, must admit, it could be tough going listening to his music being performed.

It's left to Ross Edwards to carry the legacy onwards.

Vale Robbie Flower.

An amazing footballer.

59 is just too young.

Just saw this on Twitter ... Way too young. Didn't know he was ill. RIP
