Old Days, Old Ways
Author: Alex Nicol
Publisher: Allen & Unwin
ISBN: 1760870773
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Alex Nicol takes us back to the old days in the bush, when booking into a country pub was likely to turn into an adventure, and when radio was the glue that held far flung communities together. Full of colourful characters and making do with what's at hand, these stories are classically Australian. There are the wartime mates who helped each other build farms on their soldier settler blocks, and the 'Adelady' keeping the farm running after her husband died. There is the young woman who ran down water buffalo in the Northern Territory, and Possum, the legendary bush hermit who lived off the land on his own for 60 years, quietly doing jobs for farmers without being asked. There is the neighbour caught 'fishing' in the chookyard with a long line and a small hook baited with bread, and the little girl who swallowed a sapphire she found on the side of the road. With a bush yarn, it's all about the way you tell it. As the voice of rural Australia for over two decades on ABC radio, Alex Nicol can tell a yarn with a punchline that will keep you grinning for the rest of the day. 'Alex Nicol's Old Days, Old Ways evokes and celebrates those unmistakeable national qualities that set us apart and that reside in the common man and woman.' - Ian 'Macca' McNamara, Australia All Over

Love in the Outback
Author: Deb Hunt
Publisher: Macmillan Publishers Aus.
ISBN: 1743518056
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
The true story of an unlikely romance in the Australian outback. At forty-nine, Deb Hunt stopped dating men. It was just too painful. The men she loved didn't love her back. When she found herself stalking her last boyfriend, who'd become engaged to another woman, Deb knew it was time to make changes. From her home in the UK, she applied for a job in Australia - a PR assistant with the Royal Flying Doctor Service. She packed up her London home, said goodbye to everything that was familiar, and headed down under. There she encountered a land she never imagined and met a man unlike any other - a Royal Flying Doctor Service legend. He was a deeply practical, reasonable, steady, conservative person - in other words, the polar opposite of Deb. He wanted a relationship. She wanted to flee. This is the story of what happens when you finally ditch your life-long dreams of romance, only to discover that reality is not such a bad place after all.

The 100 Best Australian Albums
Author: John O'Donnell
Publisher: Hardie Grant Publishing
ISBN: 174273555X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Australian music has a proud, colourful and successful history. In 2008, Australian rock and roll turned 50. This book names the best Australian albums of the last 50 years. It places each album in order (from 1 u 100) and discusses why each album deserves its place. It tells the story behind the making of the album, where the album fits in the artist's career and the album's impact on the local and world stage etc. The entries will feature new interviews with the artists and the producers/managers involved in the recording and the release of the album. It wouldn't be a good list if it didn't polarise people and we hope that this list will. We also hope that it will get people sitting around comparing their favourites and discovering or re-discovering these great albums and others. With 70 years of loving and writing about Australian music between us, we shamelessly believe we've earned the right to write this book. And we think we've got it right. Let the debate begin.o u John O'Donnell, April 2010 Finally, here is a much-needed list of argument-starting top 100 seminal/ influential/essential Australian albums of all time. Let the fight begin!
