Only 40p. but a much needed title on subject in demand. One of WA's most important pioneers, a great engineer who designed and constructed the Kalgoorlie pipeline. Against all advice built the Fremantle Harbour in the mouth of the Swan River. Offers a brief insight into the achievement and eventual destruction of a gentle-minded Irishman who put Western Australia on the map.
Built at a time when a tub hanging from a pole guided mariners to Busselton, the jetty became a busy port of call for trading ships. Fires, cyclones, even the Government couldn't destroy it, and the restored jetty is now a major tourist attraction.
Jeff Johnson, self-confessed 'bushie' of no fixed abode, decided almost a whim to walk across Australia, south to north, to raise funds for charity. Spurred on by the memory of his deaf-blind niece ,whose death was catalyst for this extraordinary undertaking, he battled hoons, the fear of an attack by dingoes and the vastness of the interior to achieve his aim. Surviving on what he could carry on his back, and without back up, he walked 2500 kilometers in 151 days. This is the story of his walk, the outback characters he met along the way and ,of course, the untamed grandeur of inland Australia.
This is the story of Flying Officer Stan Watt and some of his fellow brave WWII pilots who pressed attack after attack through the heaviest anti-aircraft fire the Germans could muster. It is also the story of their remarkable aeroplane, the Kittyhawk, which made the transition from fighter to dive bomber with outstanding success.
