'In my teens and early twenties I was greatly inspired by stories about the aboriginal boxing champion Lionel Rose recalled by friends living in and around Drouin and Warrigal, Lionel's own country. For me, his story took on mythological proportions and whilst I would see his photos on the walls of working class drinking holes, I didn't feel I really knew the man behind the myth. I could sense the importance of this buried idol and his place as a great Australian and felt compelled to follow his story through.' (Introduction)
