Last weekend, our Letterhead pals in Australia gathered together to restore an old curtain. Many of here in Letterville got to watch on HeadTV, as Jon "Bushie" Butterworth and his mates worked their buns off in temperatures that exceeded 105 F.

Here's the whole story in Bushie's own words.

Thanks for posting this report for me Steve.

I've passed the web address on to all our sponsors and the heads involved. Feed back so far has been great.

The photo you posted of katie (Kookaburra) is an old school photo. Makes her look too prim and proper. How about this one in a more appropriate setting ... in front of my computer with a cat on her lap
