Abstract

Along with many QCL readers, I commenced my schooling at home with a daily radio lesson, my mother and I working through correspondence from some mysterious teacher who mailed us assignments and occasional gold stars from a “Department” in Brisbane.

We met our classmates, at best, once or twice a year at Tallebudgera or Yeppoon and on sports days.

So I feel it important to note the passing of EC “Bunny” Powne MBE, on the 26th of February, 2018.

Bunny holds a special place in many hearts and minds from western Queensland and beyond.
