I first met Ernie back in the 60's when he had the butcher's shop (fairly sure it was) in Hall's Creek. He was very much liked by Aboriginal and white Australians - a very popular man. Also wasn't too bad on the guitar! Would be great to see his vision of a pipeline from the Kimberleys to Perth come to fruition as the 'Ernie Bridge Pipeline'. He wouldn't have remembered a skinny young kid from back then, but I will always remember the man he was. RIP Ernie.

On another note maybe the new footbridge across the Swan River from East Perth to the new Burswood Stadium could be appropriately named the Ernie Bridge! R.I.P Ernie

swan42 Visitor	Similar respects from me toward Ernie Bridge. On a more flippant note it would have to be the Ernie Bridge Bridge.
