A little gem of an article by Vic that I located in some Abu Tight Lines I picked up the other day.

Yes it does Dave

Spot on Debbie, must have been an interesting op on the spot.

I wondered who in the party was responsible.

The 100kg brother must be a clue

John, I'm fairly certain the stills in this article were shot at around the time a video, filmed by Laurie Woodbridge and narrated by the late Mal Florence. Some of this footage ended up in a mid 80's VCR called 'Barra Fever'. I still have a copy (don't know if it's playable after being stored in Darwin heat all these years), don't however have the means to play it, VCR recorders being obsolete LOL.
