When I was a Young Man I Carried my Pack

Tim Dunlop has a post about possible Australian military involvement in Iraq. But I think the headling should read “As the ship pulled away from the Quay“.

As the ship pulled away from the quay

In today’s Age, Michael Gordon has a piece which puts pretty much the same argument that I do in this

I think it should be titled
“As the ship pulled into Circular Quay
I looked at the place where my legs used to be
And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me
To weep, and to mourn, and to pity”.
