On his return, he found employment in Mareeba, enjoying it enough to remain up the hill three years, before descending the range for a job at the Ancient Mariner, and then moving on for two years at George's Bistro, at which point he felt possessed of sufficient experience to launch his own establishment. In 1975, he opened Millar's Restaurant, located…

Race and Racism “Racism springs from the lie that certain human beings are less than fully human. It 's a self-centered falsehood that corrupts our minds into believing we are right to treat others as we would not want to be treated”.
