From the 'R-Team' Don writes:
'After two final days of serious physical effort we finished at dinner last night with two of Pat Kellen's sons, Wayne and Noel.
Thursday and Friday were spent mainly in their homes stripping them of walls, floors, kitchens, bathrooms and floor coverings - ever tried lifting Masonite that has a million staples holding it down? Bugger of a job. But they saved the best till last when they showed us there workshop.
A room about 4 metres square with millions of tools and spare parts all coated with stinking mud. We did what we could until our backs complained so much we were drawn back to the pub for some refreshing ale or 3.
We've left Queensland and our many new friends with some memories and a new slant on life.
It's still going to take a massive effort to fix the mess and there will be many who will be living with some horrid experiences.
Yesterday I overheard Waynes wife Lindell say "what really gets me is that we lost all the kids books. They have 2 boys 6 & 4.'
