I worked as a drover and horse breaker for some time

Ralph Sarich, inventor of the orbital engine and two speed overhead reel loved by Marlin fishers?

Well there you go, I have about half a dozen two speeds and never knew he invented them. I will have to file that bit of info away for the fishing forums.

 

[Manpa]

What am I, I am a point of interest for many travellers but have been separated into 2 parts for 16 years?
