Weird thing: most of my dearest friends are 10 to 20 years older than me.
Which either means I’m very mature for my age, or they are very immature for theirs …

Well-known Broken Hill bookmaker Doug Carroll has died aged 100.

Mr Carroll is believed to be the world's oldest bookmaker, staying active in the profession up until he was 98.

Current and former racing officials from across outback NSW have fondly remembered Mr Carroll and his contributions to the industry.

I did see it BP and was also going to post about it until life got in the way.

I read it in the SMH where Nagi is a valued, culinary contributor.

Beautiful pup 💕

Not sure how old but I’ve followed the website for a long time.

I’d guess 12-14 but could be wrong.

Sorry if this passing has already been reported:

Hundreds attend state funeral for Ted Egan, former NT administrator, folk musician and land rights champion


In short:

Hundreds of people have attended the state funeral of former Northern Territory administrator, musician and land rights champion Ted Egan. 

Among the attendees was NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro, who said the late Mr Egan "helped shape the cultural and civic life of our territory". 

Mr Egan was also remembered as a "loyal friend" and someone with a "genuine willingness to listen", who made "bi-cultural" contributions to the NT in his many roles.
