There were three bronze busts unveiled recently - we had a small part in this too.

Trio of busts honour legendary outback mailman

The Governor-General has unveiled a bronze bust of the outback mailman Tom Kruse in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia.
For 30 years, Tom Kruse delivered mail to towns and cattle stations along the Birdsville Track, one of the most isolated outback roads in the country.
Three bronze busts have been created to honour the 93-year-old, who is at today's ceremony.
Governor-General Michael Jeffery unveiled the first sculpture at the Birdwood Motor Museum, also home to Mr Kruse's old mail truck.
The two other busts will be displayed at Marree, 685 kilometres north of Adelaide, and Birdsville in the south-west corner of Queensland - the two towns at either end of the 500-kilometre long track.
