Book Synopsis Camelman Dreaming by : Russell Osborne
Download or read book Camelman Dreaming written by Russell Osborne and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camelman Dreaming Australia's Last Great Camel Expedition Camelman Dreaming is the true story of a dream that took fifteen years in total to complete. The Darwin to Melbourne Thank You Camel Expedition 2008-2009 resulted in over $30,000 raised for the Children First Foundation along with national and world wide awareness of the Foundations goals of saving and changing children's lives in need of specialist medical procedures. Russell Osborne, the creator of the Darwin to Melbourne Thank You Camel Expedition 2008-2009, had been a lecturer in English on the Gold Coast of Australia when in an instant, he had developed a self-driven purpose to walk the continent of Australia with a herd of camels for a children's charity after a bout of depression following the death of his mother. Not knowing a single thing about camels, camel expedition work, the deserts of Australia, navigation and how to organize a transcontinental crossing through some of the harshest and most isolated desert regions on the planet, he set his goals with unwavering determination to 'Get the Job Done.' The camel expedition arrived in Melbourne exactly the same time as the successful separation operation of conjoined twins, Trishna and Krishna, from Bangladesh, whom the founder of the Children First Foundation, Moira Kelly AO, had arranged for the twins operation at the Royal Children's Hospital. This book is Russell Osborne's personal account of the thirteen years of preparation and the two years of walking across the continent of Australia to achieve the dream.

Book Synopsis Wings of the Kite-Hawk by : Nicolas Rothwell
Download or read book Wings of the Kite-Hawk written by Nicolas Rothwell and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2009-08-31 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Australian travel classic. Reminiscent of Bruce Chatwin's The Songlines, Wings of the Kite-Hawk will seduce and enthrall; it will force you out of the comfortable chair and into the wilds of the bush. Wings of the Kite-Hawk is a set of linked journeys into the Australian landscape: its past and its present, its people and its half-remembered secrets. In each chapter, Nicolas Rothwell takes a precursor and follows him. His guides include famous explorers from the past - Leichhardt, Sturt, Strehlow and Giles - as well as artists, anthropologists, rodeo riders and even Hell's Angels. Vivid characters weave in and out of the story, inspiring journeys through different states of heart and mind: love, loss, friendship, fear. This book, re-issued with a new introduction by renowned travel writer Pico Iyer and a new foreword by the author, is unlike any other written about inland Australia. As much fable as memoir, it resonates with strangeness and bitter-sweetness, with all the hidden patterns and suddenly revealed depths of life. 'If the traveller's aim is to find wonders and treasures not before our eyes, that others have overlooked, then this is truly a hidden classic.' -Pico Iyer, Introduction

Book excerpt: Ipswich Grammar School was founded in 1863, and has beena beacon of education throughout the history of Queensland. However, it was during the Great War, that the school reallydefined itself. Just under 1500 students had been enrolled atthe school throughout its years, and of these 1500, over 290volunteered to serve in WW1. Students from all walks of life,had two things in common - their passion for 'The School onthe Hill', and their desire to serve their country - to do whatwas right. Of these 230 boys, 37 made the ultimate sacrifice,many won military honours, many came home wounded andmany returned to a somewhat normal life (if life could everbe normal for them again). It is this journey from boyhoodto becoming a man, on the battlefields of France, the desertsof Egypt and the skies over Europe that has yet to be toldfor these IGS Old Boys. It is an honour that is long overdue.By creating a biography on each of these men, and sheddinglight on their stories, our community can commemorate theirservice and their impact on the war. It is the stories of theseboys, that will form the basis of this book.
