Beam Ends Revisited: a travel diary from along the australian eastcoast & beyond Dec 16th – 18th, 2011, Hichinbrook Island – Townsville/Magnetic Island – Bowen - Whitsundays

Halfway between Cairns and Townsville there is Hichinbrook Island. There is a narrow passage between the Island and mainland. EF describes “steep green hills on both sides”. Well, I’d say steep hills are only at the Hichinbrook side. Anyway, looking across to the island from the little town of Cardwell on the landside, I dare to say…nothing has changed on the island’s side since the last 80 years. It almost felt like anytime the Sirocco might appear out of the blue.
On to Townsville with Magnetic Island. A lot of the old buildings are still there on Flinders St. Conditions vary. “The great shaggy bluff”, which “rises like a fortress sheer into the sky” of course is Castle Hill. Still very impressive to behold, although since EF’s time some ugly highrises block a even better view from the old CBD. However, Castle Hill still gives excellent views on Magnetic Island where EF & his mates tried to make some dollars transporting passengers to the island.
Next stop Bowen. Not much to say. A boring little town. The old jetty is still there. The Sirocco lay at the jetty for not even 2 hours due to “doctor absent” (EF lay down with a bout of Malaria)
My next stop at Airlie Beach /Shute Harbour as the “gateway” to the Whitsunday Islands is not so much inspired by EF, but by my own interest to see the beautiful islands. However, EF and the Sirocco sailed through the Whitsundays and to me it seem this was the part of the journey EF liked most. At least I think so from the “enthusiastic” way EF described the passage and the nature experience. Therefore I have attached a photo from Whitehaven Beach at Whitsunday Island to give you an impression of what the area looks like (then and still today).

William Tell Script

Mr Fegerl wishes to share the attached pages from the William Tell script with you. They basically trace the tragic role of Maria, played by Austrian actress Waltraut Haas. Please note: Mr Fegerl is not in possession of the entire script. Hope you enjoy. P.S. I scanned and corrected the pages, sorry if I overlooked any mistakes. There is one hand-written correction which I marked with a different writing. 1 AttachmentsFriday, October 14

King Solomon's Mines
by

I just saw "King Solomon's Mines" on TCM and it is a great movie!
Throughout the movie I visualized Errol playing the part! He would have been great in it, as a matter of facts he would have been excellent! How in heavens name could he have missed this great opportunity to a fabulous reenactment of himself? Who advised him? Exchanging "King Solomon's Mines" for "Kim" somebody sure was out for lunch! Was Errol that much his own enemy or fallacy? Where were his advisers - did he have any? I read he didn't wanted to go to Africa. Errol always liked to go to new countries and at that time he never made a movie in Africa - so? He said he wanted to go to India, because he was never there, which is not quite true as he was in parts of India on his way from New Guinea to England. Was Errol that much his own enemy? I very often think of the old proverb "with friends like that who needs enemies" and I think Errol had a lot of friends like that. I always maintained that Errol was a most naive and gullible man, which brought him in a lot of hot waters because he trusted people who so often ill advised him, betrayed him or took him to the cleaners! Thinking of it one can only feel sorry and despair for him! I know it is past and gone, but nevertheless we are here to discuss him - the good and the not so good. Anybody having any answers to that puzzle of Errol? I hope the many of our members have something to say about this subject and voice their inside knowledge and opinions? Monday, August 8
ANOTHER ARE YOU BEING SERVED REFERENCE

Came across still another Errol reference on the British sitcom ARE YOU BEING SERVED--they are trying to drum up business at the department store and comment that a famous golfer was signing golf balls in the sports section. They wonder who what famous person would be appropriate to autograph trousers and Captain Peacock mentions, "The only name that comes to mind is Errol Flynn!"

I love the old bawdy British sitcom ARE YOU BEING SERVED and I was watching some old episodes the other day. They made 2 Flynn references in 2 different shows. In one, Mrs. Slocombe refers to a gentleman as being as handsome as Errol Flynn. In another, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Humphries are admonished by the head of the department for fooling around with the sign-in book. He says something like "If the sign-in book is to be believed Errol Flynn signed in yesterday at 9:00 followed by Oscar Wilde at 9:02." Love catching those references!

ERROL MENTION ON MARPLE EPISODE
by

on Mon 30 May 2011 10:37 AM PDT
I was watching the "Pocketful of Rye" episode from the recent MARPLE series and there's a great scene where Miss Marple charms the local inspector into letting her help with the case by commenting how handsome he is and telling him how much he resembles Errol Flynn. The inspector happily strokes his Flynn-esque mustache and, of course, allows Miss Marple to help with the investigation.

ERROL FLYNN IN HIGHWAY 301
by
meffjiller
on Fri 27 May 2011 01:39 PM PDT
Producer/director Kent Hagen reports a major find-- he has sighted Errol in the 1950 film noir HIGHWAY 301. He is hanging out in the background of one of the scenes. Since Errol was friends with the film's star Steve Cochran, we assume Errol decided to pop into the movie on a lark. Has anyone else out there seen Errol in this film?
HIGHWAY 301 is currently available on DVD from Warner Archives. Check it out! 1 AttachmentsThursday, May 26
