A Flight of Youthful Fancy
In 1940 Peter Cullen was a boy of fourteen living in Woodford Bridge in Essex. His father was called up and Peter was sent to live with an aunt and uncle near Sudbury. The phoney war had ended and now came a time of almost nightly air raids.Life was hard, and although he adored his Auntie Daphne he ran away from home. It was a decision taken on impulse. One moment he was an Essex schoolboy; the next he was hitching to Dublin in the cab of a lorry. And before long he was signing on to the crew of the Cork Explorer, bound for Vladivostok.
This Land Our Water
The book opens with a biography by Peter's wife, the Reverend Vicky Cullen, offering the reader an insight into Peter's personal life and the influences that inspired his passion and drive as an academic and water guru. The eulogy, by Kate Andrews, written in March 2008, provides another perspective on Peter's life. Also included, is a list of Peter's publications and thirty-three vignettes written by friends and colleagues from various backgrounds - politics, agriculture, journalism and science. The vignettes detail the many ways in which Peter influenced their lives and work. Journalist, Asa Wahlquist, recalls "He was a great gift to journalism, and indeed to our nation. His commitment to good science and his ability to communicate that science were inspirational". This Land Our Water is a celebration of Professor Peter Cullen, a hard working and much respected advocate for the land and waterways of Australia.
