The Reverend Colin Steep was someone Graham Bell met in 2000. They would often talk about the Reverend's lifetime memories.

Colin had grown up with four brothers and two sisters at Kindee on a small property some 60km west of Port Macquarie. The farm had to be cleared of bush before cows could be kept and crops could be grown. Colin and his family lived there through the Depression in the 1920s and 1930s and he talks about how the family survived. There was no money and all the food had to come off the land. He talks about the time his father found a snake in bed with him and about how Colin had the job of keeping the farm going through World War 2 because his brothers had all joined the Army.

Graham asks Colin why he joined the church and about the parishes he served in. Colin talks about a number of experiences of divine guidance. He was the first Chaplin at the Hogbin Drive Crematorium and was there for many years. He talks about people's attitudes to funerals and what was going to  happen when he died.

Colin Steep became well known around Wauchope, Macksville, Grafton and Coffs Harbour.
