Mike "Ta Ta" Herd
We have put some questions to Mike to see what makes him tick.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY?
- Going bush, 4 wheel driving, good food and wine, single malt whisky, music and old films.
WHERE HAVE YOU GOTTEN STUCK?
- On the Birdsville to Beetoota road in the mud in my brand-new Subaru Brumby in 1982.
I HAD NO IDEA YOU COULD BUY THOSE NEW, I THOUGHT THEY MADE THEM SECOND HAND.

WHAT ARE THE UNWRITTEN RULES OF WHERE YOU WORK?
- What rules? I was not made aware of any rules.
THAT GOES PART WAY TO EXPLAINING A FEW THINGS.
HOW MANY CHICKENS WOULD IT TAKE TO KILL AN ELEPHANT?
- There is only one Chicken Man “he’s everywhere, he’s everywhere!"
OK, BUT WHY DID HE CROSS THE ROAD?
- To get closer to the elephant.
IF YOU WERE ARRESTED WITH NO EXPLANATION, WHAT WOULD YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY ASSUME YOU HAD DONE?
- I shot that bastard who revs the crap out of his dirt bike every weekend.
THAT WOULD KEEP YOU VERY BUSY IN BROKEN HILL
- I’d find the time.
SPEAKING OF TIME, OURS IS UP.
THANK YOU MIKE.
