There are great ways to spend your evening and I’d found one of them. Sitting with my parents who I don’t see as often as I’d like, I was drinking in the ambience of a Cafe’ and talking about nothing in particular. The owner came to check we were enjoying the fare, and we got talking about business. Turns out that as well as a cafe, Chris owns and runs “Rural Cinema”.
It's kind of neat to find a story of a guy who finds things, distils the essence of what he wants, and then goes about making it happen. I've come round to talk to the guy who basically IS Totally Sound, and found not only a great business story but a few snapshots about the way the guy lives his life.
In the early 1950s, Australia became involved in the Korean War. The history is there for those who want it, and the Australian War Memorial will show you a good overview of what happened. You'll note that 3 RAR covered themselves in glory. You'll note that 339 Australians lost their lives, and you'll note that it was neither the first nor the last time that such sacrifices were made.
For years we've been writing about why it's really special living in the South West. Research for this story started in a very different direction from where we've eventually been taken. Where we eventually wound up was looking at an incident that we'd assumed was one of the nastiest in our history.
