family background

Its often seems amazing to me that my parents met and married. He was from Victoria, born in Buchan 1901;and she was from north Queensland, born in Charters Towers in 1914. They metwhen my mother was living with her family on McArthur River station in NT and my father was stationed in Camooweal as a patrol padre with the Inland Mission. Mum was brought up strict Anglican and dad was a Methodist clergyman. But they did meet, and fell in love and married in Camooweal. There are many more stories to relate from my father's diaries of his experiences in Queensland and also from his time as a padre to the troops in the Middle East in WW2.
