In August this year, Jenny and I spent 24 days on a tour of outback Queensland.
On our sixth day we met up with Tony Booth at Millaa Millaa Falls, just "around the corner" from Tony and Chris's property in the Atherton Tablelands.
Tony was one of the best Veteran athletes in Canberra in his day. He is still running, now 75 years old.
What ACT Vets records did Tony set over the years?
