THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL

to launch

And Bring the Darkness Home: The Tony Dell Story 

by Greg Milam

Friday, August 27 at Kooyong, from 12 noon

Don’t miss one of the most important and auspicious functions in the history of the Australian Cricket Society… lunch with the Governor-General of Australia, David Hurley AC, DSC, FTSE. on Friday, August 27 at Kooyong, from 12 noon.

His Excellency is launching the compelling, must-read biography of soldier-cricketer Tony Dell, whose life was forever tarred by the Vietnam War.

The only Australian Test cricketer alive to have seen active service, Tony’s life fell apart after Vietnam. By his mid-60s, he was virtually penny-less and living out of his mother’s garage. Belatedly he was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, beginning his quest to address the issues of men’s health and assist fellow Vietnam sufferers via his charity Stand Tall For PTS.

In Vietnam, Tony witnessed atrocities from which he never recovered. Rarely could he sleep for more than two hours per night. His marriage crumbled and he became estranged from his three children.
