Just seeing Frank Hardy in a great docco on the ABC.

Is he named a past National Treasure yet?

Anyone remember him when he was on one of those quiz shows, with Noelene Brown and the rest of the "True Crew"?

He always had a story that had been told to him by "Truthful Jones"!

This is the story behind the Gurindji Wave Hill walk-out (longest strike in the history of the world), and the background to the Vincent Lingiari story as told by Paul Kelly in "From Little Things, Big Things Grow" - a song I felt appropriate when my first kid was born!

If you missed it, get the fambly to watch on iView!

I sang the "Poor bugger me, Gurindji" song when arrested for being drunk in the "Prince of Tek" pub in Earl's Court, London!

You know - the Frank Hardy of "Power Without Glory" fame. Had a bloody hard time getting the book published, because he was a suspected commo!

This is the Australian History they won't teach in schools!
