This is where we get meta. Rather then what we’ve written, this is what others have written about us. Clippings are arranged by date, where it’s possible, then alphabetically by the name of the paper or magazine, unless it doesn’t make sense to do it that way. I’ll try to summarise the article or at least explain what it is or where it came from.
Just sit back, relax and enjoy as the press misinterprets, misunderstands or just makes a mess of what we told them.
There’s some TV footage on my YouTube channel, Australian Reenactment – the early years for when you’re done here.
