I was very sad to hear of the passing of Mary Walsh last week-
Mary was a great character who championed many local and broader issues.
While we agreed to disagree on several important issues, I certainly admired her tenacity and efforts as a community activist and fondly remember many lively discussions.
Condolences and sympathies to Kevin and family

- Hello thanks for taking the time to check out my site. a bit about myself and experiences had- Ive been a councillor at Glen Eira for over four years now and have enjoyed the challenges council life presents. As well I work p/time for a local sports and physio wholesaler doing everything and anything from despatch to purchasing. Probably the most physical and exotic work was as a trekking guide in Nepal - amazing times! Spending a fair amt of time in the third world has I think shaped how i view all worlds - Doing some almost exploratory solo trips into the remote traditional regions of Borneo during the nineties was a real privelage. This was at a time before these regions had been cleared or logged-true 'adat' lifestyle. Blowpipes, wild boar and debates with missionaries! Other adventures include being involved in the Franklin River blockade in Tasmania- scouting upriver before the first protests and almost being bitten by a startled copperhead in the middle of nowhere.
