…. I have had a note from W. Eustice (17 Newbon street. New Prospect), who from 1917 to 1919 drove the motor mail for Morrison brothers from Broken Hill to Wilcannia — the first term of motors when horse coaches ceased to run...
Mr. Eustice recalls kindly Frank Olerhead at Dolo Government tank, 36 miles on the Broken Hill side of Wllcannia. “No matter what time of the day or night passengers reached there, Frank was always waiting for them with a cup of tea and a niece of home-made cake,” he tells me. “When I was In Broken Hill last September. I located him at 512 Argent street, and to me he did not look much different from when I last saw him at Dolo tank 21 years previously. He told me he was 86 years old. When I referred to his kindness to everybody at the tank, he said. 'What's the use of being on this earth unless you can always show kindness and goodwill to everyone'?”
