�My father was a keen fisherman and we once anccompanied "Archie Craig" , by all reports a real character!, from Evans Head to Yamba/Iluka to fish. Archie kept a pet white cockatoo on his shoulder when he drove the car and was most put out when the local police, who he knew well, said that the bird might bite him on the ear and cause an accident.� John Elliot-Watson.
