This column's recent exposé on the doomed Alpine Way to Charlotte Pass Chairlift prompted a bulging mailbag.
Most of the correspondence was from readers who vividly recalled their memories of the ill-conceived lift during its brief life of operation in the mid-1960s. But there was also a missive from Jack Kennedy of Kambah who took umbrage with this column's claims that the military "blew up" the chairlift's Top Station in the 1990s.
