When we first arrived in the district Rob was a man moving stock on a white horse and he remained a gentleman on a white horse all the time we knew him.
Always kind and helpful.

Condolences to the Curry family.

Rob was the quintessential Good Guy. Worked hard, suffered pain anonymously and full of good will. I had the good fortune to be with him on an Alpine horse trek in 2003 and he loved every minute. In spite of holding the record for the oldest person to undertake the adventure he was always first up each morning, loading the pack horses withe relish and enthusiasm. His signature! A wonderful man. What a privilege to know him. My condolences to his family whom he loved very much.

Rob a man of honesty and hard working ethics. It was a pleasure to know him and learn from him. Rest in peace Rob you sure earned it. Strathmore was a good place to live when you were there. May the sheep run and the cows move as one. Regards Steve B
