PAPERBACK

Who Can Save the Dolphins?

Ten year old Sam loves to watch the river. But her world soon changes that there are lethal dangers lurking in the water–and they are killing the dolphins. Sam and her friends could not have foreseen the impact of their quest to save the dolphins, nor the danger they were in.

Brian Gillan’s book is a realistic story of the plight of a dolphin – capturing the attention of the reader, young and old, empowering people to be more careful about the disposal of rubbish.

Dr Michele Blewit – Project Director, AUSMAP

A vivid story about how one young dolphin fell victim to a plastic bag will go a long way toward ensuring young people do not repeat the careless littering mistakes of previous generations.

Dr Mike Bossley – Marine Biologist and Conservationist

PAPERBACK

End of the Road

Becoming a Mallee Wife

At School we learnt about the mallee country in our lessons and I remember disctinctly thinking, “Why would anyone want to live up there?” It wasn’t portrayed in a very good light and seemed to my impressionable young mind the last place on earth one would want to live or farm in. I always said I would never live too far away from the sea anyway.

I ended up doing just that!

This book is an intimate slice of the history of living in the Mallee District. Deborah Hyde shares her real-life experiences with enthusiasm and humour; a true Australian gem!

PAPERBACK

They Called Me Lightning

They called me Lightning is the story of Dean Jamieson. Born in Adelaide in 1940, Dean left school at sixteen to chase a childhood dream of becoming a real-life cowboy.

This is the story about a young teenage boy who decides to leave Urrbrae High School in Adelaide and begin a new life working on an outback station. From stepping off the Old Ghan at Abminga rail siding in the middle of the night, to living off the land with Aboriginal people in the Simpson Desert, to mustering cattle on foot, to chasing brumbies along the Birdsville Track, to how he earned his nickname “Lightning”; Dean recounts these and other entertaining stories about early sexual encounters, drought, isolation and near-death experiences.

Told in Dean’s own words, They called me Lightning describes tales of fear, adventure, survival and growing up whilst working on outback stations in South Australia and the Northern Territory in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

About the Author
