Produktbeschreibung
At 15, Bob Flatt left his comfortable, middle class Sydney home to become a jackaroo and assistant station manager in Queensland's Gulf Country. Learning to ride horses, muster cattle and fix bores were just some of the day-to-day challenges Bob faced, as well as swimming with crocodiles, riding in rodeos, chasing cattle duffers and fighting floods and bushfires. 'Australian Outback Yarns' is an hilarious account of a young man growing up in the outback in the 1950s. It tells of a world before technology took over, when each cattle station was its own self-contained community, drovers still roamed the land, and the spirit of mateship was a matter of life and death. Bob Flatt brings to life many of his hair-raising adventures and the characters he met along the way.
