Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some small tears at spine top but is now in protective cover. Interior and binding are still excellent.

Australian history is full of colourful heroes, but not all are well-known. For every one with a high profile, there were many others whose adventures also captured that same distinctive Australian spirit.

Perhaps one of the reasons some of our heroes went relatively unrecognised was that, with every act of courage and daring, there always seemed to be a touch of scandal and disrepute. That's how they became our tarnished heroes.

Bush Tucker Man Les Hiddins introduces us to some of them, weaving into their fascinating stories his own wild knowledge and first-hand experience of the Australian bush. Included are Christie Palmerston, Frank and Alick Jardine, Captain Starlight Harry Readford, Patrick and James Kenniff, John McKinley, the Stafano Wreck, Jan Pelgrom de Bye van Bemmel and Wouter Loos from the Sardam, the Concordia and the Leeds Mercury hoax, James Stirling and Robert Dale
