I guess you want to know a bit about the author.... well, a long time ago - wayback in the fifties, actually, Lucky the whippet got a new mate to muck around with on the banks of the Wakool River.
Me and Lucky headed south to the Wimmera, and it went sideways from then. The odd snake made life interesting, and my so-called schoolmates made it even more interesting.
After surviving the droughts and footy and school in Dimboola, I headed west to work in the mines and on the drilling rigs, then back south to work in warships and battle tanks.
Met a gorgeous girl - we started a manufacturing company and a family, and now I crack jokes and annoy my kids and so-called mates at work.
