Last week I was able to visit the grave of a former work mate and arguably the most influential Australian fishing lure maker.

Peter Douglas NEWELL was born at Werris Creek on 6 January 1945. After working with the CBA ( Commonwealth Bank of Australia ) and NSW Rail, he joined the NSWPF on 8 May 1972 and was attested on 19 June 1972 ( R/N 15338 ).

Peter retired on 12 March 1992 at the rank of Senior Constable. He passed away on 9 January 2009 and is buried at Tenterfield.

RIP old friend.
