THE WALLABY TRACK WITH LIONEL MUSSELL

THANKS A BUNCH , LIONEL !

AFTER DECADES WRITING ABOUT CARAVANNING AND HIS GREAT NEMESIS , MURPHY , LIONEL MUSSELL SIGNS OFF …

Way back in time , when I was about 26 years old and we were running a service station , I joined an Apex club in Mornington , Vic , and before long I was made the dinner notice writer . As a courtesy , I started sending a copy to the local paper and was soon asked by the editor to write a column for the paper every Sunday . This was the real start to my writing career !
Since then I ’ ve had a lot of occupations but always there was a magazine published . One of these was the Victorian Royal Eye and Ear Hospital , where I was the public relations officer for many years and produced a magazine every month besides liaising with the media and looking after the ladies ’ auxiliaries .
