Congratulations Fred Brophy I do not know of any other showman in Australia who has been in the national geographic magazine 4 times has had songs written and sung about him and is as well known as you, in my book you are the King showman of Australia.

Kindest regards Bullie Walker

This video is testament to the old syaing that travel really does broaden the mind. I had no idea the Ozzeys did this. In the old days in the England the gypsies used to challenge my grand-farther to a bare knuckle fist fight in the street or you could head down to their camp and fight. It was as gory as hell but they paid up-he was a hard bastard and they used to come from all over the area to try and beat him. 5* for originality. Sort your sound out mate keeps crackling.
