As stewy said but 2. Dave Evans

An excellent post David. Thank you so much for sharing this information with us all. As a Registered Nurse I have been involved with families in similar situations and the road is long and rocky but once you can see the light at the end of the tunnel it is well worth it. Sertraline is an excellent drug and I too have witnessed huge changes in the patients that take it. Side effects are minimal. This is a great triumph for you all and good luck on the journey mate. Cheers mrsswordfisherman

He sounds like an interesting chap really. I just read an abstract from a presentation he made at The Royal Society of NSW James Woodford is the Environment Writer for the Sydney Morning Herald and the Author of "The Wollemi Pine" and "The Secret Life of Wombats". In his early twenties he won an Australian Geographic Young Adventurer of the Year Award. In 1996 he won the Eureka Prize for environmental journalism and he has been awarded the prestigious Michael Daly Prize for journalism twice. "James Woodford highlighted a curious accord between Wollemis and wombats (the brief title of his talk)." Wow, do they both have "woody" bits perhaps........ "A large number of fishermen are like me: they treasure the time in the presence of the marine environment, the spectacular sunsets, the surprise wildlife encounters (BAAAAAAAAAAA OR IS IT A WOMBAT) and the excitement of a child hoping to land a fish." Cheers mrsswordfisherman
