Publishers Description: Birdsville, the land of plenty - plenty of heat, dust, flies, snakes, camels and salt of the earth outback folk. Neale McShaneBirdsville is one of the most remote police postings in Australia. It can be lonely and uneventful for weeks, then the dramas come thick and fast- from desert rescues to rising floods, venomous vipers to visiting VIPs. Throw in heat, dust and flies and its not a job for the faint-hearted, unless youre Senior Constable Neale McShane, who has single-handedly taken care of a beat the size of Victoria for the past ten years. Recently retired from this hardship posting, Neale and his family thrived on the adventures and colourful times that come with the territory in the furthest corner of our country. Yarning with friend and bestselling author Evan McHugh, Neales experiences are humorous and heartfelt. How do you feed 4000 unexpected dinner guests Where do you find a Chinook helicopter when you need one Whos your backup when the population explodes for the famous Birdsville Races And what do you do when youre the person the Flying Doctor is flying out Among these inspiring tales of danger and death, dreamers and dumb tourists, youll encounter a little community with a big heart that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with a larger-than-life policeman whos become part of Australias outback legend.
