A Road Less Travelled By - Neil Davis - S3E02
<p class="MsoNormal">Episode two continues to deal with Davis’ trademark grit that is introduced in the first podcast. He overcomes a terrible ACL knee football injury and develops a love of running. His physical fitness and never-say-die attitude stands him in good stead in the seemingly impossible challenges Vietnam throws at him. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">As well, his academic prowess and weakness for members of the opposite sex are introduced and an affinity with Errol Flynn who attended the same school as he did in Hobart. It also deals with his growing restlessness in Australia and the attraction of South East Asia. We look briefly at the fall of Singapore in 1942 and the powerful emotions he experiences when he steps off the plane at Paya Lebar or Singapore Airport in September, 1964. The Vietnam adventure is about to begin. </p> <p><a href="http://facebook.com/auswarhistory" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">facebook.com/auswarhistory</a></p> <p>patreon.com/auswarhistory</p>

A Road Less Travelled By - Neil Davis - S3E01
<p>In this episode, we talk about the beginning of his life, from losing his mother at an early age to then suffering from Polio and learning about how life and death are just part of the different seasons of life. We discern that his ability to weather the many challenges of Vietnam has its origins in his early days in Tasmania. </p> <div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"> <div dir="auto">have just completed a memoir on my first 18 years in Kalgoorlie. Its title Around the Blue Laminex Table is taken from the times when we sat at the blue Laminex kitchen table and listened to my father regaling the family with unforgettable stories about his days as a woodchopper, gambler and contractor who supplied the sheep stations north-east of Kalgoorlie. My uncle, William John Sheehan, the principal focus of the podcast on Timor, also figures prominently. Other important Goldfields' characters as well as some who have lived their lives in obscurity are included in the narrative.</div> </div> <div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"> <div dir="auto">I have chosen two of the twenty-two chapters to read aloud during a podcast to give you a sense of the underlying qualities of the non-fiction narrative. One has a military bent to it and the other deals with one of the worst car accidents in Western Australia’s history. If the two stories have piqued your interest, you can purchase the book by e-mailing me at aroundthebluelaminextable@gmail.com.
