Portland Downs Station
The Portland Downs story begins with the granting of leases in 1865. Portland Downs Station, between Isisford and Ilfracombe in central-western Queensland, was one of the earliest runs (properties) to be settled in the Mitchell District. Conflicts with Aboriginals were infrequent, but they did occur. Daily life for the station community, with some 48 employees at its peak, and the station’s involvement with the wider community. Personal experiences are highlighted including that of a 14-year-old jackaroo who went on to become an Australian Government Minister. There is even a ghost story entwined in these pages!
Ten Thousand Campfires
You have probably seen Rex Ellis on TV. He is constantly turning up on the box with his team of camels and his adventurous urban guests hanging on for dear life somewhere in the sandy wastes of the Red Heart, maybe near Birdsville. Or traversing Lake Eyre full of water and pelicans in his beloved tinny. Rex lives a nomadic, desert life out there that you and I can only dream about. For a desert wanderer he is pretty talkative and has a mad sense of humour, but when he does do his block with a recalcitrant safari guest or a stubborn camel, he gets volcanic.

The Jackeroo
This is the story of a jackeroo named Tim Johnson, who works in a team of shearers for quite a long time. He tells his life story after becoming orphaned at a young age. He is adopted at fifteen by an outback grazier. Then at twenty-five, he breaks away from the hell he was enduring, to find himself in this tough world of ours. He meets Molly, and they find true love together for the next forty years. They are confronted by floods, fire, and the loss of their only child, but they prosper in the end. It’s tough in the outback of Australia, but not as tough as some.
Never Die Wondering
This book is an incredible Australian story of an ordinary man who has lived an extraordinary life, who has overcome seemly insurmountable obstacles to succeed in living his dreams and accomplishing his ambitions. Fighting droughts, a legal system after he had used a firearm in self defense, the injustice of the family law court, the rights of a father and son whilst enduring betrayals, both personal and business, are just some of the crushing battles fought in his life. These battles rendered him penniless in his later part of life. With his usual never-give up attitude he remarkably created a property portfolio in the millions in just 48 months, created from mentors, business minds of millionaires from the bush and the city.
