	Family History
		Colin McNab helped his father develop the additional land, and planted apples and peaches, gradually growing more fruit for the fresh markets and for export.
		In 1973 Colin purchased 180 acres at Undera on the edge of the Goulburn River to hold the increasing cattle numbers and to allow the cropping of wheat and oats in Spring/Summer.
		All four of the fruit-growing McNab generations have served on the board of directors of the Ardmona cannery in Mooroopna, which was Ardmona Foods Limited.

		Colin and I dropped down onto the wreck in about 12 metres and found a spider crab waiting to greet us.
		Colin picked the crab up and put it on his head, slightly surprised it ran off down his back.
		The wreck is being archeologically surveyed and has a sign on it asking you not to disturb it and to have a look at their website that really brings the ship to life and is definitely worth a look.

		For many hundreds of years this was the burial place of the McNabs and all the Chiefs up to and including the famous Francis McNab were buried in the special walled enclosure in the eastern part of the island.
		It is said to have been brought from Ben Lawers and marks the grave of one of the earliest chiefs.
		One has carved on it, though it is barely decipherable today, “This burial appertains to Finlay McNab of Bavain.” There is another one which is supposed to mark the grave of Elizabeth Menzies, wife of Alexander, ninth laird of McNab.

	John B. Henderson: Chess News October 2002
		He strongly believes that for the future of the game, it would be better to unify the rating systems; allowing two rapid games (using the increment of 10 seconds per move to avoid losing on time) to count as the same value as one classical game with a full five hour session.
		McNab's prowess at rapid chess has led him to win virtually ever tournament he's played in over the last couple of years in Scotland - which, if merged with the main rating list, would make him the new Scottish No.1.
		At the weekend McNab's dominance of speed chess continued when he easily won the Lothians Allegro with a perfect score of 5/5; his 'victims' (in order) being Tom Quilter, Phil Giulian, Neil Berry, IM Steve Mannion and IM Douglas Bryson.

		After his painful defeat, Danny consoled himself by winning innumerable blitz games against his opponent, all the while singing the latest English football song (though where the authorised version includes an emphatic cry of "Inger lund!", Danny sings "Gormally!").

		One of his less successful games there was a brilliant positional win by Colin McNab and here the two players had obviously tacitly agreed to take the fight on once more - only this time Ron improved on his play and went three pawns up.

		The lowest rated player in the field at the Agency Masters, after getting his revenge on McNab in round eight, he now needs to beat GM Neil McDonald in the last round for a "performance" norm of 6/9.
