The trucker's job - so vital to our nation's everyday activities - makes for a diverse treasure trove of tales. This first-ever collection of tales about Aussie truckers captures the humour, tragedy, and fascinating background of their world, demonstrating once more that truth is often stranger, funnier, plus more motivating than fiction. The improbable yarns and tales, gathered by Jim Haynes, quickly carry the listener in to the interesting but often hard and lonely world of the long-distance truck driver. A couple of stories of endurance while crossing the Nullarbor in the early 1950s, of rescuing mates stranded in the desert and dumping whole wheat in protest at Parliament House, of repossessing vehicles in suburban Adelaide, and of men imprisoned through the long political challenge to make the highways of Australia free to carry freight. Steeped in larrikinism, they are salt-of-the-earth Aussie voices from the most genuine character types to ever spin a yarn. Whether you're considering one of many social revolutions to own shaped our nation, or in these never-say-die modern pioneers who astound with the resourcefulness, or whether you're soon after a laugh and a bloody good account, this book is perfect for you.
