In Part B of this special conversation, we continue the story of Uncle David Grigg — moving from early farm life and community involvement to the changes that reshaped his working world.
Uncle David shares stories of his first car, the Hillman Minx, the shift from horsepower to tractors, and the arrival of his first McCormick Deering on steel wheels. We also hear about a difficult turning point — having to leave the farm — and how that led him into town, into new work, and into everything from sales to an unexpected ten-year role at BTV 6.
Along the way, there are tales of a VW Kombi, outback stations, School of the Air, national parks, and a wonderful yarn about Gertie the tractor.
This is Part B of the story of David Grigg — full of heart, humour, and lived experience.
