Frank Povah laying out pages Western Herald, Bourke. Compositor at 14, journalist, proofreader, all-round newspaperman. And hillbilly bluegrass muso. Don't make 'em like that any more. Thanks Frank for your time and your insights. It was a pleasure and a privilege.

Not a man-of-war or a brigantine. But a caravel similar to the Columbus ship of discovery made from discarded Cypress Victoria's Western District. Named Notorious and moored Townsville Marina. Not bad value $5 to climb aboard.
