Bush Aussies

By Allan M Nixon

True stories of Australian country characters

Bush Aussies takes us on the road with Allan M. Nixon, as he travels down highways and dusty tracks in search of real Aussie larrikins and legends.
Whether they're out on the land, running a successful business or just down the local pub, every country town has its unforgettable personalities, and Allan, bestselling author of the Beaut Utes series and The Bushies, has a knack for finding them.  He has travelled from rural centres to the back of beyond to introduce us to a wide range of identities – a water diviner, animal trainers, a boomerang maker, a bush poet, a beekeeper and many more.  These true stories of ordinary and extraordinary country character show what the Aussie way of life is really like outside the big cities.

Bush Aussies celebrates the colourful, creative and amazing people who make Australia unique.
