Random jottings

I have written many yarns over the years, as a journalist, under other pseudonyms including Curly Bells (Townsville Advertiser, shared, + family and colleague sports/social commentary) and Herbert Burdekin (Townsville Bulletin) and observation pieces in various columns including Goldfield Gleanings (Northern Miner, shared) Mac's Column (Townsville Advertiser), James Morrill (Townsville Advertiser, shared), About Town (foundation columnist, Townsville Bulletin)  and the NSW Country Press Association award-winning Sapphire Snippets (Inverell Times).

I include a selection just for the heck of it and because they were so much fun to write
