The Language of Us
Doris Falidis-Nickolas’ poetry beautifully captures love, loss, and remembrance, offering comfort to those navigating grief.
CHRISTIAN, Doug. _To Mal and all the boys we are thinking of you at this very sad time and of course remembering vividly what a fun bloke Doug ``Mr Christian'' was. To name just a few:Racing down Oakleigh Ave in the Valiant (did it have any brakes?)Sitting in the hedge behind the goals at Sandy Bay Oval watching our beloved Sandy BayFishing and hooning around in the boat at DunalleySupporting the Taroona P.S. footy and soccer teamsWaiting outside the Travs (Travellers Rest) after the footy while Doug had a few beersAnd the way Doug encouraged all of us boys to go off exploring in the bush nearby our homes in Taroona.Great neighbour, great friend, great father, great bloke.Love and respect forever Nick (Nicky) Chipman.(For and on behalf of the Chipman clan,formerly of Taroona)
