Wreckers

Best known as the author of 'Storm Boy', author Colin Thiele also died on Monday. His passing was perhaps overshadowed by the death of Steve Irwin.

I remember having to read that book in school. It's been a sad week this week

I rember being told to read the book in school ... but ended up renting the movie.

Can't remember how many times I had to watch that movie in school.
I never did see/read any of his other works.
Lifes a funny ol thing.
