congratulations to Dan
hey Dan, loved your John McDouall Stuart stuff while you were walking. Very original. How did you know about Wm Finke? You can visit www.johnmcdouallstuart.org.au - but be patient as we are rebuilding the webstie after it mysteriously totally vanished. Cheers from Rick, President of the John McDouall Stuart Society
