Has anyone read "Not all Ringers & Cowboys" ?

It's a few years old now but still gets the adventure juices going.

Lucky bugger being paid by the ABC to ride around OZ twice on a bike..

I'm reading cos I can't get to my bike yet due to fiscal matters..

I bought it over a year ago, but havent read it yet

I am not a big book reader, need to be "in the mood", and as yet, havent been in the mood

I lent it to one of my work mates, and he said it was good reading.

Reading it right now, Smelly. He's got a good writing style. He seems fairly straight forward in his description of the places and folks he meets. Shame I missed the radio series. Might search for it at the ABC website later on if the book inspires me enough.

I read it in one go, started one afternoon and finished before I went to sleep. Top read, two thumbs up

SMELLY DOG · 11-07-2009, 06:58 AM

I have a chat every now & again with him via e mail, he is a great guy..for a Journo Ha Ha

Sundowner · 11-07-2009, 07:02 AM

What's he doing with himself now? Be hard to follow up a gig like that.

johno · 11-07-2009, 03:42 PM

I have seen him at BMW in Adelaide a couple of times.
He goes in for a look, and a ride every now and then. He is good mates with Bruce there,

I have been trying to buy this book for ages. Anyone know where to get a copy or anyone want to sell one they have read?

johno · 11-08-2009, 02:39 PM

BMW motorcycles in Adelaide have the books.

I asm sure others do as well. ABC shops??

RomperStromper · 11-08-2009, 05:34 PM

Also worth while is his radio doco "Asian Welding Tales" recorded on the road during his journy fron UK to OZ. I got it in 1999 at an ABC Store, still Avalible I think

Try your local library.
Ours has cassettes of his 2002 trip around Australia called Half way Round.

The first time I heard him was "Asian Welding Tales". It was played on Triple J around 1997.
