Dave Richardson at Babinda

Dave and I on the railway platform at Babinda

The Sunlander only makes a 5-minute whistle stop at Babinda where an old mate from my Thursday Island days now lives. I had phoned Dave Richardson half an hour before the train's arrival at Babinda and he was kind enough to meet me on the platform.

This was our first meeting since my departure from Thursday Island in 1977!
