This book is about amazing people living and working in an amazing environment. The Outback of Australia has long been the source of stories of adventures, hardships and of course great successes that have built character and empires alike. There is a blend here of enterprise in the mining and cattle industries, interwoven with tourism, hospitality, humour and a love of animals all under the umbrella of adventure. It is a salute to those special people who possess that quiet soft strength and toughness so necessary for life in the Outback.
