Talk about comebacks! Newcomer to Maryborough, Peter Jackson, certainly has a tale to tell.

Peter, a karate exponent, finished second in the Japanese Karate Association event in Adelaide in 1986.

A month later, tragedy struck when he was in a tragic work accident in Melbourne.

Peter was working in a printing company and he was lifting a heavy chase (forme) when he broke a vertebrae in his spine (lower back).
