Welcome to my readers
Life can change in just a few short moments. The death of my grandfather Henry Milton Scott changed every aspect of my life from that day on.
He loved the town of Katherine that he lived in and its history, especially the story of the Overland Telegraph Line. I like to think that he transferred his love of the O T Line and the Northern Territory's history over to me while he passed from one world to the other. He left plenty of clues to finish what he started to do. The puzzle is coming together so please stay tuned for plenty more sneaky peeks of history........ coming this way.
