The Tourism "brown sign" is given out like hen's teeth to tourist operators. We had developed Australia's Bush Orchestra on the Moruya 10 acre site, a lovely walk under the Ironbark with the bell miner's remarkable singing and plaques along the walk displayed of great evangelists through the centuries.

With some help of a local Shire Councillor, we secured one of these tourist "brown signs" which the RTA situated at the town's major intersection, a magnificent position. You couldn't miss it. A few years later the RTA did an audit on small tourist operations and 'brown signs', a bit of witch hunt.

Australia's Bush Orchestra was part of this audit with an RTA lady turned up, whose brief, in my view, was to have our 'brown sign' disappear. Sue enough, the letter arrived. I contacted Gordon at Parliament House, setting out all of this. He said it's better to deal with these matters quietly.

Sure enough he was in the lift with the relevant Minister whom he asked why is the Christian tourist site 'brown sign' in Moruya being removed and the Buddhist tourist site further up the coast being 'retained'. As a result, we kept our 'brown sign'. When we left Moruya in December at our public farewell, this story was front and centre, how the RTA order for removal of our 'brown sign' was reversed - an astonishing feat and certainly the talk of the Shire.

We met Beverley many times in the course of all these years and I spoke at Belconnen Baptist during David Moyes' ministry tenure. Gordon Moyes played an important providential role in Delma's and my ministry. Dr Mark Tronson is a Baptist minister retired who served as the Australian cricket team chaplain for 17 years ret and established Life After Cricket in He mentors young writers and has written 24 books, and enjoys writing.

He is married to Delma, with four adult children and grand-children. Initially held outside, I moved it inside the northern foyer where we could still see the sunrise but be out of any bad weather. Hosted by Gordon, An Australian Christmas told the story of the first Christmas with wise men on real camels and shepherds herding flocks of real sheep.

Gordon was an inspiration to work for, although I always felt as if I was working with him, not for him. Like all CEOs, Gordon was often approached by letter, phone call or email by people who said they had a great idea. His philosophy, was that if possible, he would always take the time to listen, or set up an appointment to meet them. Wesley Institute was one idea that came out of such a meeting. Gordon loved his family and I was privileged to get to know Beverley his wife, his daughter and three sons.

Two of his sons were involved as volunteers with the mission and with the radio and television ministry. He always loved it when my eldest son Andrew came in to 2GB on a Sunday night during school holidays. After hanging out with Dad and Gordon, Andrew would curl up on the studio floor at 11pm until we finished at midnight.

Andrew has gone on to a successful career in television and now feature films. Gordon was a great story teller. His 11pm stories on Sunday nights on 2GB were listened to by thousands every week. We were often asked to put them on earlier, but commercial radio needs ratings even at 11pm on a Sunday night. I left the mission around the time Gordon entered parliament to be involved with another Christian outreach in media.

His need for a media manager brought me to Sydney over 30 years ago — a move that has influenced my life ever since. He will be sadly missed but his legacy will live on in the thousands of lives he impacted through his lifelong Gospel ministry.

Denomination: Methodist. The word that rhymes best with "Australia" is "failure"! During the Olympics, our success in the pool, on the courts, on the track and other fields of competition, saw us in an unusual situation: we were victorious! The flag flying at the top brought cheers. The national anthem brought tears to the Scripture: Luke Tags: Hardship Of Life.

Back to the Basics. The Best Christmas Ever. The Always God. The Prince of Peace.
