Colin Thiele and Eudunda SA

Australian author, Colin Thiele, passed away in 2006. His well known story of Storm Boy was made into a movie in the 1970s.
During a trip to SA I wanted to visit the Coorong, see the Pelicans and visit the historical town of Eudunda - the birthplace of Colin Thiele.
By sheer coincidence we visited Eudunda on the 16th November which happens to be Colin Thiele's birthday.
There is a statue in Eudunda commemorating Colin Thiele and "Mr Percival".
