Summary: Tim Fischer and Peter Rees tell the tales of some real outback heroes, their communities and their success in bouncing back from hardship to success. Full of canny thinking, hard work and a refusal to give up, these truly inspiring stories come from every corner of Australia. The gap between the city and the bush has never been greater and the bush has never had to work harder to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing society. This is a book about the never-say-die spirit of those who live in regional Australia the people and communities who see opportunity and the chance for renewal where others see dust.
What I thought: Hit and miss! I bought this at Clunes Booktown before hearing Tim Fischer talk. Like most of these books some characters you love and think are amazing and others are just so so. But it did highlight the fighting spirit of the bush. So proud to live in this beautiful land.
