Book Content Overview

There are 49 yarns in my book starting with The Discovery of Australia then a few taken from my life experiences in the bush and at sea drifting into occasional brief yarns sparked by our history and through the second World War with a few Aboriginal yarns for good measure.

In some, the names have been replaced to avoid embarrassment, but all are basically true. My life has been a kaleidoscope of experiences. I became first a beekeeper, then a drover leading to stock dealing and then into cattle and sheep stations in various partnerships.

I was a stock and station agent and auctioneer for about 40 years in my own right while running the properties and charter boats, and twice owned motion picture theatres.

I reckon I must have married too often to accumulate, as each wife now has at least one house, and or farm while I live in a rental?
