It's always a joy to view your artistic designs, Donna. So sorry to hear of the tragedy, especially right on the heels of Steve Irwin's death. My prayers are extended to all who knew & loved them. #518375

A stunning presentation Donna, and a wonderful tribute to Peter. I wonder how long it will be , before we see our Aussie flags flying above half mast again? #3284916

Donna Roberts September 09, 2006

Thank you all so much for leaving such wonderful comments for a legend.
Peter will always be the King of the Mountain. It is a huge loss to not only Australia but the motor racing world.

Carolyn J. Connolly September 09, 2006

FABULOUS image, Donna - and a VERY fitting tribute to our WONDERFUL mate, the late, great, and already VERY sadly missed, Peter Brock... He's been an Aussie motor racing legend for over 30 years now, and a VERY strong advocate of safer driving on our roads most of that time...

A few years ago, he also started the Peter Brock Foundation, which helps under-privileged Aussie youth... Like Steve Irwin, Peter went out doing what he loved, BUT...he - even though a little older than Steve, still left us w-a-y too early...

Having two iconic Australians taken from our midst within four days is just TOO tragic... I agree with Margaret S - "Australia IS in mourning at the moment"... RIP Steve AND Peter... We'll never forget you... #3286523

Donna Roberts September 09, 2006

Hear Hear Carolyn.
