OLD BONES

It was interesting to read your very good account of the Leyland brothers, Mal and Mike in

Life on the road (AG 153). I had the privilege of meeting both of them at the South Australian Museum in Adelaide during the decade I was working there in the information and education office.

During the 1960s they visited the museum to obtain further information about the diprotodons that had once lived over wide areas of Australia.

The Leylands intended to visit Lake Callabonna in the north of South Australia, where a number of ancient skeletons had been found and collected for display in the museum many years earlier.

I sincerely hope that Mal has another opportunity to realise his hope for another series with his daughter, Carmen.

Good luck! DOUG SETON,TEA TREE GULLY, SA
