Thread: World's toughest boots

@Pengy :
" I think it is about time that you starting writing a book "


Yeh l keep getting told by family & mates ,l featured in a book about our time in Arnhem Land & Kimberly's of Oz, with some bushy legends & the author wants to write one on our exploits but it is not really my thing ,missus reckons l have been around Blackfellas that long l think cameras steal your soul & am always ducking out of them .

The long process of sitting down & going over at times painful memories, where people got badly hurt or lost for the book was a major pain in the arse for me & l did not enjoy it, only did it so some good blokes & Old School proper " Mans, Man" were not forgotten , the family & mates are at me to do it now l have semi retired ,but still not phased .

I took a lot of film before "water proof adventure cameras" were common ,lugging around a pro quality Sony camera, in a proper dive chamber ,as the dust, water ,perspiration, humidity , blood etc ,etc would kill them back then , now you could probably use a phone for better results(Fuck l am old ) . So the girls have recorded memories of our adventures ,the only reason l would go through with the book is to makes sure proper Bushmen are remembered & that my Missus gets recognition for what she put up with while we lived & worked in some of the most remotes places on earth .

It all sounds goo,d but reality is this is a example of having remote adventures & what living remote for my missus involved & the knowledge at all times ,that not only would the local critters kill you at the drop of a hat ,but a injury was going to put you in a world of pain for hours ,maybe days, before you would be MediVac out by the Flying Doctor or bounced around like a bag of broken bones in the tray of a Tojo for hours to reach the nearest proper care.
