The Fat Man's Odyssey: A History of the University of Western Australia Athletic Club is a comprehensive record of the history of athletes who wore the UWA uniform since 1928, written by a 1960s competitor.
It tracks the club from the earliest years when athletics on campus was little more than a once a year activity and was located in a single carnival or sports day, to its contemporary unfolding; from a meeting held at Loton'sPark in 1918 to 2008 when it celebrated its 80th anniversary as a member - the only remaining member - of the managing body of athletics in Western Australia, to its 90th year since the inception of the sport on campus.
A story full of a lot of hot air!
