The 2nd Eric Wright Memorial Walk, Mt Arawang, 28 June 2008
It was a nice surprise to find that a street in the suburb of Forde has been named after Eric Wright. Is it a coincidence that a favourite walking and bird watching site for Eric, his family and the St Paul's walking group is Mulligan's Flat, right next to Forde?
