Thanks for this treasure my grandfather died before i was born so I'm naturally interested in his life. he was the forestry officer at forrest in the early thirties Arthur Tiny Ure he played football for forrest and as legends go he kicked the ball one day in a game and they stopped the game to measure the kick eighty two yards.Geelong asked him to play for them but it was difficult for him to get to training as his job was far more important than playing football, he sat on the bench for one senior game as nineteenth man and didn't go on so therefore he's not in the book. he was promoted to forest commissioner and transferred to Healesville and is pictured in your video titled Australian Eastern States-Timber Industry Stabilization Conference-1951.Field Excursion At 2:09 he can be seen standing to the left of the journalist holding the camera at WM.Cook & Co. Mill Thornton...Thank you.
