That is called the Crosscut Saw and that one is Mount Speculation and yonder is Mount... Peter Carey
... a country where we seldom understand that we must be prepared to fight for issues bigger than an umpire's decision at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Peter Carey
Peter Carey quote: "If you know the country he said then you will be a wild..."
