Brian Crisp - School Boy Plane Spotter to Valley Surveyor
The Manning Valley has produced some amazing people and stories. Today, we hear of a life very well lived!
From early wartime memories of plane-spotting through to living in the bush for months at a time as a 14 year old, Brian Crisp recounts his personal, life-long journey with our region. A working life that only slowed when he got to 82 years of age.
The Manning Valley is a region he knows in some detail as he went on to become the surveyor of many of our coastal villages, such as Wallabi Point.
Brian's story starts at a pretty logical beginning – when he was born.
