'Some people shape their future.

Some people follow what their future brings.

Some people wake up wondering where their future went…”.

1950, ten-year-old Max Charlton was shipped from Blackpool to Australia’s post-war frontier. School at Cooma, NSW, bored him. Life didn’t.

Max learned fast under shearers Cook Stewart Driscol on the shearing circuit, where a week of mutton and flour taught more than a year of classrooms.

From there, he bluffed his way into concrete-truck driving in Canberra, then into the Army as a mechanic in Malaya’s tropical chaos.

Yet the smell of roasting mutton and flour dust always pulled him back. Michael delivers a compelling, laugh-out-loud memoir that sounds so real and proves life's best lessons are learned under pressure.

A truly Good Yarn, filled with relentless adventure and Michael Holding’s dry, uncompromising wit.

Highly recommended.
