Re, On the beach...

> 3. I watched "On The Beach" on DVD yesterday....

Brings back a flood of memories...

Way back in 1959 I was a young 7 year old.

My parents took me for a Christmas holiday to Queensclliff,
a small town in Victoria (Australia),

One day my Mum took me for a walk down to the local wharf
(Queenscliff being a coastal town), and I saw a boat come in
to the wharf. A guy got off wearing a funny sort of navy uniform,
it was none other than Gregory Peck (as I realized years later),
there as part of the 'On The Beach' crew.

My mum and I then hopped into a large boat and went for a spin
seaward - all I can remember was going around and around a really
big black boat (the submarine used in the film).

So that's it - a memory of years past - I so wish it had of been
AP Film Studios.... :)

Cheers,

Dennis
