Clive Frederick WILDER [12877]

  General Notes:

Clive Wilder writes in Tank Sinker
Peter Dawes had a shop in Burke Street. He sold a lot of things, but we never had much money and we thought his prices were pretty dear. He was a cunning old bugger: he had a hawkers van and he'd go out to meet the ringers, shearers, drovers, before they got to town and spent their money. We called him Ned Kelly; or 'Dear Peter' because he was so bloody dear with his items.
