This story was told to me by Pixie Daly, a lovely woman who lived her life here on the Sunshine Cost and had many friends until she died in her nineties in 2011. Her stories touch on the early days: one road, no cars, travel by boat, fishermen lost at sea, frozen lakes, the perils of long distances between the logging camps, the hazards of fog on the water when everyday you travelled by boat. A ‘marvellous regatta”, an unforgettable character named Gladys — and her husband, the Pig Man.
Two questions: What is the ‘greasy pole’? #2. How does this orange fit into the story? Jot down your answer on Facebook on the Group Page SOME KINDA WOMAN, Stories of Us
