'This is a story of our adventures in 'Out-back' Australia. We have often told small parts to different friends and many times it was suggested that our experiences should be put in book form.I have tried to be as accurate as possible when I am talking about tradition but, as the title suggests, I am a novice and all the things I have learnt have been through personal experience.Events that have happened to us have sometimes been a real eye opener but they are true situations. I have related them because it is truly what happens on communities. To counteract the violent times, I hope that I have been able to balance it with all the wonderful things that have also happened.All these events have taken place over the past nine years. Things unfortunately have not improved during this time and in some cases have become worse. But I hope that you will read this book with an open mind,and not be too critical of events described in it.I hope that you enjoy the photos. Over the years we have taken hundreds of photos. In the past we have had a photo exhibition in South Australia.Some of the photos I have taken and others taken by Bill. To us, they hold great memories and hope that for you, they will give an insight into the wonders of the outback of Australia.' (Publication summary)
