Often the STAN cartoon has used signs. Maybe that’s because I used to be a sign writer in an earlier life.

The corvette HMAS WHYALLA was the first ship to be built in the Whyalla shipyards. It was launched in May 1941 and decommissioned in 1946 after extensive war service.
Until 1984 it was operated by the Victorian Ports and Harbours in Melbourne as The RIP. The opportunity then arose for Whyalla to purchase its namesake and so began a lengthy saga to return the ship to Whyalla where it was finally, and after much huffing and puffing, brought up onto land and positioned at the newly completed Whyalla Maritime Museum at Tanderra on the main highway to Port Augusta.
The saga of the ship’s return was the subject of many STAN cartoons.

The waters around Whyalla are famous for their fishing, especially the Red Snapper. Each Easter a fishing competition is organized which brings in anglers and their boats from all around Australia, although each year I seem to have some cartoon which takes the side of the much fished fishes.

The Whyalla foreshore is a popular place to swim and enjoy the beach, but it’s always had something of a reputation for the seaweed. Over the years the STAN cartoon has made many interesting suggestions on how to deal with this particular menace.

After a break of about three years in order to concentrate on my children’s books, the manager of the WHYALLA NEWS asked me to again take up pen and ink. At the time, about March 1998, the paper had a new editor: Lisa McIlwaine, who replaced former editor Peter Daniels.

The year 2000 was a big one for Whyalla and Australia. There was the Sydney Olympics, the introduction of the GST, and locally the crashing of an aircraft en route from Adelaide to Whyalla with eight people on board. By now Bev Story was the editor of the Whyalla News.
