Trails, Trials and Triumphs by Rob Shannon

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly to front cover right corners, now protected with book tape. Body text and binding are still very good.

Rob Shannon has experienced both city and country life in a wide variety of occupations ranging from a small wheatbelt town to outback pastoral stations and to running a successful service station in the metropolitan area. He describes the different episodes with keen insight.

Details of struggles with the early tractors sit side-by-side with the advent of the town's Power House, which not only supplied electricity, but, wonder of wonders, ICE! Wheat farming, sheep mustering, learning to fly and coping with city ways are all recounted. Most striking of all is the theme of one man's persistence, initiative, and adaptability to changing circumstances.
