Oh! So sad for John's family, and for all his walking buddies!
I first met John at Lees Paddocks on the
Bushwalk Tasmania (now Bushwalk Australia) first anniversary walk, and subsequently joined him and some of the 'strollers' on a couple of other walks.
His knowledge of the bush - particularly around fishing and 4wd areas - was amazing!
We will all miss you 'flyfisher' John.
