celebrity guests

The Wayside Tavern, has never ceased to amaze Mine Host with the A-list of house guests. A wall of photos was started in the office. However this long ago proved insufficient, and an ever thickening album is kept on a shelf in the manger's office.

Sports stars (many of Australia's best known) every state minister ever, most state sitting members, most federal ministers, all governors-general and governors, many international experts in various fields, some very senior public servants, in addition to the much valued salt of the earth types who make the pub trade such a pleasure.

Standing out from the crowd (for reasons of good humour) is one particular extra happy, back slapping type of cheery fellow.

Far and away the best politician of my time. Which is a different thing from being a good premier, although I think his haters are on a par with Howard's haters.
