Bert established a bullock team and picked up and delivered cedar logs to saw mills. He was a character and played both Rugby Union and Rugby league around WWI. His nephew Norman settled in Bomaderry and worked at Nowra Milk factory for 50 years. Norms father William, was Berts brother.
Norm's son Ian is engaged for this episode. Ian reflects on his history, his milk factory memories and his career servicing dairies as a refrigeration electrician from Albion Park to Milton. His great-uncle Bert features front and centre in the memories of many men in Berry.
