To celebrate 125 years of publication, The Bulletin is posting historical pictures of Australia from its archives. In the latest set, one from 1946 has my father in it. If I was a better writer I could probably tell you what he meant to me, but I can link to this appreciation written by John Burrows.

Update: As soon as I post this, they replace the pictures with next week's set. Here is the picture:

Tim, you need to fix that link. It is pointing to a picture from 1982.

Great weblog, by the way.

We have more from that series of shots, I think. Send a note if you'd like some prints; I'm sure they wouldn't be too difficult to organise.

Several readers have recognised themselves or family members from our archive presentations. One former soldier found an image of himself with his pet monkey (!) in Malaya or someplace 50 years ago.
