Good on him for replying, but I reckon he's probably had so many letters/emails since Australian Story, that it's probably just a standard reply he's been sending everyone.

Still a good gesture though

Even if I could watch it (ABC won't let me because I'm not in Australia), it looks like the ABC has pulled the video "due to changes in music licensing".

Found a video download on this forum

334MB .mp4 - plays with VLC.

bugger bill, but to you and all the others, his address is on top of the scan/pdf, and I'm sure he'd appreciate a note from all/any of you.
