Can anybody remember when that was published, as I seem to have somehow forgotten the details.......?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-51525856314902755392015-06-18T10:21:41.018+10:002015-06-18T10:21:41.018+10:00Fortuitous that HMAS Conundrum had two smaller boa...Fortuitous that HMAS Conundrum had two smaller boats about its person for use by the asylum seekers.
