MORE STUFF FROM THE PEN WITH NO LEAD, "POGO FULLER" PROLOGUE TO THE SAGA OF THE SIXTIES. In the beginning God created Yabbie Creek and all was peaceful and serene as his Divine presence saw to it that things were as they should be. Being an all powerful and all seeing deity, He decreed that this sacred part of the planet be located in close proximity to where He knew eons later the 190 bus from Wynyard would be pausing on its way to the not yet created suburb of Palm Beach. Millions of years after the creation Yabbie Creek evolved into the northern beaches suburb of Avalon. After renaming Palm Beach as Summer Bay, the producers of a well watched television soapie discovered ancient writings from the local dark ages that made reference to the area's traditional name for Avalon.  Although these writings were from almost prehistoric times and dinosaurs were roaming about the district, they somehow thought it appropriate to revert to the traditional sacred name of Yabbie Creek for their series. The official name is currently Avalon Beach, despite the fact that there are possibly even more dinosaurs on the loose locally than in those prehistoric times. All those with nothing better to do with their allotted time on this planet may be interested in browsing through the unreliable memories of an ageing old  pensioner.  If so, read on. Truth is indeed stranger and at times, more ridiculous than fiction. Many may find it all boring, tiresome and meaningless, some may find it mildly amusing, others may think it hilarious, but I'm certain there will be some warped individuals, who whilst reading, will be nodding knowingly.
