A highlight of my time at the Eye and Ear was liaising with Professor Clarke when he was developing the bionic ear , which went on to give hearing back to deaf people around the world .
One of my longest spells was being a columnist with Caravan World magazine and I worked with some great editors while writing a monthly column about caravanning and camping all over our vast country .
It was while I was with Caravan World that I took a major role in forming the Australian Caravan Club and I was its president for the first five years . We formed many new branches throughout Australia during that time and they are still in good hands today .
When Caravan World sold to another company they said they didn ’ t need my services and I was given the ‘ don ’ t come Monday ’ story !
I ’ d worked for many years with Max Taylor when he was with Caravan World and he had left to form this excellent GoRV e- magazine so I gave him a ring and asked if he needed a columnist ? He jumped at the chance , gave me the opportunity and I started straight away .
When covid struck , Max had to reduce his staff but l liked him and said I would write for nothing because I enjoy coming up with stories .
That has worked a treat but now I ’ m 92 years old , I feel I should leave the writing to younger people … unless there ’ s some juicy story I come across somewhere along my travels .
It ’ s been great knowing so many of you have followed my ramblings ! Bye !
