Publishers Description: Yarns and memories that capture the experience of policing in the bush, gathered by the inimitable Bill Swampy Marsh, bestselling author of GREAT AUSTRALIAN FLYING DOCTOR STORIES and GREAT AUSTRALIAN CWA STORIES. I tell you, you meet some strange characters in this game ... Boasting the biggest beats in the world -- some as large as France -- Australias outback police have seen it all: natural disasters, incredible acts of selflessness, unspeakable crimes and daring rescues, just to name a few. And theyve met some unforgettable characters along the way: from the murderer who stuffed his victims bodies down wombat holes; to the policeman who arrested his own wife; to the prisoner who risked his life to rescue his own captor from certain death. Master storyteller Bill Swampy Marsh has travelled the length and breadth of the country to gather their tales of adventure and misadventure, drama and mayhem, and larrikinism and laughter, to create this memorable collection of real-life stories about those on the front-line in the heart of Australia.
