More than ever I regret not keeping a diary of my life's journey since leaving home on my 17th birthday to study rural science at the University of New England in Armidale. I have tended to take each day's events as they come, and to judge most of them not particularly noteworthy. Besides, keeping a diary requires discipline and more talent than I felt I could bring to the task; and who would want to read my diary anyway? Now, as I look back over the 50 years since starting at UNE in 1961 I realise that my life has been quite extraordinary - and it owes its roots to my fortunate decision to study rural science at UNE. |
