ninety-six

9/09/09 ~ our father would have been 96 today.
Here he is in his 20's, breaking in a horse.

early
& here's the whole family, Dad is the boy at right.
Only the baby is still alive. I think they had a hotel & farm at
Clermont, in central Queensland, at this stage. Dad was
sent to boarding school in Southport from 8 years old.
We were all thinking of him today.

Dad managed a huge sheep station here
for some 15 years, it was much further away then.
