[QUOTE="RM Outback, post: 664698, member: 7093"] Never came across this thread until today. GC I met a grandson of the bloke your talking about regarding the axe in the tree. He told me his grandfather found a reef and placed the axe in a tree, didn't mention any illness only to finish off by saying he never got back out there and the axe was still in the tree. Mind you the young bloke was 11 years old, born and bred local, I'm talking early 90's here. Haven't seen Jimmy for about 15 years, last I heard he was in WA. I'd say he'd heard the story and recounted it telling his version, how true it is I have no idea. Nonetheless it's one of those mysteries that will live on for ever in my opinion, at least it has the potential to be true 👍🍻 [/QUOTE]
