A community is formed and grows until they purchase a disused hobby farm on the outskirts of Sydney and build a permanent rest and recreation center for veterans and their families which they call The Funny Farm, the nickname given to Vietnam by Australian soldiers having served there. Once the Funny Farm is up and running, Tom and Van, his Vietnamese partner, spread their outreach to other parts of Australia searching for veterans who have left home and family to live by themselves away from civilization.
Download or read book The Bush written by Pamela Robson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we have such a profound attachment to the bush? Perhaps it is because the harsh, mysterious and utterly foreign outback provided the unforgiving crucible that created distinctly Australian character traits in the early pastoralists, drovers and shearers: qualities of resilience, bluntness and pragmatism. We are a country moulded by the efforts of those hardy souls who tamed the land. The political and economical life of our young country relied on wool and wool came from the bush. But despite the fact that Australia has long since ceased to ride on the sheep's back, many of us proudly regard the bush as our heritage and wellspring. THE BUSH celebrates our fascination with all things rural, including commentary from three reporters who are passionate about the land, and photo essays featuring wonderful images from the Fairfax archive. As Malcolm Turnbull states in his foreword, "The bush and those who live in it are at the very heart of Australia." THE BUSH speaks to all Australians about our profound attachment to life beyond the city fringe, and pays tribute to the energy and spirit of country people.

If unmasked, though, this person may be forced to destroy the entire station... and everyone on board. That is, if the Xenomorphs don't do the job first...
