AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Battler O'Brien had been a battler all his life...riding the rodeo circuit...droving sheep with Mum on the drought-ravaged stock routes. But with four kids on the ground and another bun in the oven, Battler saw that the only chance for his family lay with the 'Bundaroo' land ballot. He was prepared to do almost anything to win..'(Back cover).

Notes

  • Dedication: This book is dedicated to the battlers of the bush, two in particular, who inspired me to write it. You are the real 'dinki-di' Aussies - I am proud and privileged to have known you.
