“This is a story from the Australian Outback”
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.
Born in Melbourne Australia, John Hollis’ family moved to Rural Australia when he was 4 years old. His childhood days of freedom and country life were responsible for developing a love of animals, the quality-of-life small communities provide and the enjoyment of great stories about real people.
Explore the heart of the Australian Outback: a tapestry of adventure, resilience, and passion. Meet remarkable people who thrive in an awe-inspiring landscape and forge legacies that inspire us all.”
