Review & Description
Adventures down under as a young expatriate from Texas, motivated by the impending sale of the family ranch, leaves the security of home and family to make a new life for himself in the Australian outback. Taken under the wing of the most outrageous character in the Northern Territory (Crocodile Dundee country) the author pursues the dangerous profession of bull catching, capturing wild bulls and buffalos on the open range. This seemed to him not unlike Texas immediately after the Civil War, only the author, in bare feet and worn out cutoffs, used Toyotas instead of horses and threw them down by the tail instead of roping them. A one of a kind adventure set in the wildest and most remote areas of the continent. Spiced with danger, colorful characters, humor, and a deep empathy for the wild outback and for Australian's indigenous people. Read more
