Book Description
As Brian Keith Alexander Sawers (affectionately known as BK to his friends and family) would’ve entered his ninety-third year of life as this decade begins, it feels appropriate to release this documentation of his life and that of four generations of the Sawers family. It is with some regret that BKA died without the chance to see his book completed; however, acknowledging his wishes, the combined efforts of his daughter Lannah Sawers-Diggins and a number of other people today see his memories shared with the world. The story has its roots in Stirling, Scotland, and traces the lives of several of the first Sawers family members’ journeys out to Australia, their “movements” between arrival and settling onto a series of stations, all of which have been documented, before the Sawers settled onto Pitcairn. The remainder of this historical recount takes us through an in-depth and detailed history and description of Pitcairn Station. Brian Sawers spent a great deal of time putting his memories to paper, and while we wish he’d been able to see this finished product of his work, it is with love, respect and admiration that we are finally able to share his experiences with the world, and in turn provide an insight for readers into in the Australian outback.
