    Just thought I should throw in a small correction. Sheep don't do well in the Territory. I don't know of a single property devoted to growing them.

    I had a look at the School of the Air site. The sheep mentioned were out at Hermannsburg, to the west, in 1956. 1956 was the beginning of a 10 year drought and probably the end of the sheep!! I first came here in early 1968 and have never seen a sheep despite covering a lot of the Territory by land and air. I see the article mentioning the sheep was taken from the 1956 copy of Airdoctor. If you can get hold of the 1983 copy of Airdoctor you'll find a picture of me!!

    By the way I'm interested in the origin of "radio op" - I'm VK8KMD but am very rarely on air these days.
