A bit about me…
This Pool is a tribute to John Plowman (AKA "Plowie") created by his oldest son, Pedro. Plowie was born in 1926 to Frank & Eva Plowman who had a sheep station called Merrigal, west of Blackall. In this Pool I will post Plowies stories & yarns, photos, 8 mm footage & other memorabilia. Sadly Plowie now has advanced prostate cancer which has metastasized into his bones. Awareness of men's cancers is pitifully low, please visit www.prostate.org.au. I'm taking great care not to take editorial license with Plowie's writing so any additions by me will be in square brackets and signed 'pfp' like [a note by pedro - pfp]. If the primrary text is by me it will also be signed 'pfp'. And since this whole text was written by me here goes... pfp
