Biography of a colourful local personality who was known for his tenacious stands against the Port Hedland Town Council from outside and from within during the development of the iron ore industry in the North West.
"To my dying day," declared a fist thumping Colin Peter Matheson in 1994, "I'll fight the State Government, I'll fight anyone who even dares to suggest that we, the people of this town, must accept this ill-conceived and arrogant Council decree!"
Set against a background of life in Western Australia from the Great Depression through to the 1990s, it follows life from his early days in Dowerin, Katanning, Wiluna and Perth through to the tumultuous, exciting and heady days during the development of the mighty iron ore industry in the North West. A man with a heart the size of the Pilbara and an equally huge tale to tell.
