Good Bastards Hall of Fame
Barry and Judy Wilson (with the Sweeney in the middle)
You have read about Barry in the book Good
Bastards, the larrikins guide to Success. He was the bloke that walked off the
job in a sawmill in South Westland and picked up a couple of Hitchhikers and
took them to Franz. Of course nothing happened, Bloody Leo.
It was a few years later that Barry met up with Judy and they did the deed and
were married. Nearly as long as others herein mentioned.
I first met Barry when I was about 11 and we played in the South Westland
schoolboys Rugby team. A massive honour back in those days.
We worked in a couple of sawmills together including the famous Levetts Mill in
Hari Hari.
Barry is one of the three on the cover of the Good Bastards book shooting up the
dunny. You will be able to recognise which one is Barry from the photo.
Barry and Judy and their two sons own and
operate the Glass Factory in Hokitika. A very successful tourist attraction. If
you’re in the area, go in and make yourself known as another Good Bastard.
Barry is currently putting together a Good Bastards Event involving four-wheel
bikes. More on that in a future issue. You would have seen him on the Good
Bastards sixty minutes program roaring around with Peter Campion and myself up
in the bush and hills back of Hokitika.
Heres to you, Barry and Judy. A couple of great Good Bastards
Cheers
