That little guy got blown off the pier at St Kilda beach. There happened to be a photographer from the Age Newspaper on the pier at the time. The shot of the woman hugging the young man makes me misty every time. It was big news here in Melbourne……. it also shows that good news sells newspapers as well as bad.

my pleasure………… newspapers rarely go back and tell you what happened next but as you can see from the video they did follow up with the lady owner. It was quite a story at the time. Brave and thoughtful young man.
For so much apathy in the World, there’s always tender hearts… there’s a song in my langues that goes, if we’re few, but we few wouldn’t surrender easily…

Oh, thank you for telling me, I was wondering where in the world it was – just found it on youtube and didn’t see any mention of where or when.
