Om gentlemen I don't know how to post them but i will send them to Troy, I have your email address but i cant find it mate can you please email me and note I have a new email adr aiandor@bigpond.net.au. Torby please email me as well and i will copy you as well. <br /> <br />Troy. <br /> <br />I can tell you a different story about a telephone exchange in Paddock (field) of sheep. <br /> <br />Our family propery out at Nyngan NSW is 40,000 acres and was so poor we could only run 8000 sheep, the front gate was 1.5 miles away. We had the local telephone exchange called Widgelands. It had its own building with a corrugated iron skillion roof, as i had many cousins and us boys were regarded as a nuisance we were all put out in the telephone exchange to get rid of us and we were expected to man the exchange. (pretty rough service I can tell you). <br /> <br />Well it was stinking hot as the bush fires had just gone through and we had a lot of trouble with drought it hadn't rained for four years. Well this night it rained it sounded like the world had come to an end for a four year old Ian. But the jubilation at salvation still stays with me today 64 years later To the exten my favourite sound is the sound of rain on a tin roof, at four years of age I had never experienced rain before. <br /> <br />Of course knowing this big tough country, we were flooded out within a few months and the rain turned into a curse. <br /> <br /> <br />Regrds ian
