Taking selected stories from "Staying Alive, ISBN: 978-0-6487353-3-5 2nd edition," this book is jam-packed with incredible true anecdotes. An agricultural town in North Queensland called Clare is the setting for this child's life story, which takes place in the 1950s and 1960s.
Through the eyes of a child, the stories in this anthology depict a string of extraordinary events. The fact that this kid lived to adulthood may baffle you.
How does a kid stay alive while danger lurks in the bush and the river? A memoir of growing up on a farm in the tropics of North Queensland, Australia, in the 50s and 60s.
This heartfelt collection of illustrated short stories captures a series of incredible experiences, as seen through the eyes of a mischievous farm kid. Growing up on a farm presented many risks for an active child. Yet while his parents battle crop failures, cyclones, and floods, there is still time for childhood adventures, simple entertainment, and humour.
This memoir records anecdotes from a time that has slipped into history.
Follow the farm lad as he dodges snakes, crocodiles, near drowning, the perils of the Australian bush and shares fun times with mates. As a teenager, he explores new fashion, music and the moral changes of the 1960s while coming to terms with the mysteries of adult behaviour.
