Outback Stories

Overview 🦘My story will take you through my Army experiences including the dreadful inhumane mess that was the Vietnam War. Vietnam was mostly unknown to Australia before the war and whilst it is now a popular tourist destination, little is known about the war and our involvement in it. My involvement concluded with severe PTSD and a shocking journey into memory loss and a foray into the outback of Australia. Following the Vietnam disaster and my struggle with mental stress, my story will take you through my role as a recruit Instructor during national service years at the training battalion near Wagga NSW. Then a transfer to the Military Police which involved mainly training roles with the Corps and in a now forgotten loan of Australian Military Police to the British Army during the height of the troubles involving the Irish Republican Army and the Cold War security of what was West Germany whilst attached tithe British Army of the Rhine. My 20 years in the regular Army concluded as a Warrant Officer Class One. I followed on for 2 years as a training Warrant Officer in the Citizen Military Forces. Then it's onwards to read about my scary upbringing in the following 'Journey to war' story which relates my upbringing by a hateful mother culminating in an amazing journey to an extremely remote cattle station as a 12 year old. That experience presented a hard life, a huge learning curve and included a saga which now seems surreal, was this me or a movie I once saw. As is said, 'wait there's more' including the S.A public service, a dreadful shock to the system after I sneaked in as a training officer. As well, a period as a training consultant and ten years in mining management. Then life struck hard as you will understand if you decide to read on. So ! this is me, surviving Polio, being booted out of home and stranded in a lonely city far from home, later lost in the wilderness of the great outback, the trauma and legacy of personal loss.

"To travel is to live." ― Hans Christian Andersen, The Fairy Tale of My Life: An Autobiography Born from a childhood dream, Dreaming Across Australia is a serialized travelogue that follows a three-month journey across the vastness of Australia - a continent explored not just by distance, but by experience. From the raw stillness of the outback to vibrant cities, from encounters with wildlife to moments of quiet awe in some of the world's most stunning natural landscapes, the journey unfolds as both an adventure and a personal exploration. Rather than offering practical advice or guidance, this book captures impressions: the feeling of endless roads, the pulse of everyday city life, the beauty and fragility of nature, and reflections on culture, identity and social issues encountered along the way. Each place leaves its mark - sometimes breathtaking, sometimes unsettling, but always thought-provoking. Written for those who dream of Australia, whether they may never go or are only beginning to imagine the journey, Dreaming Across Australia invites readers to travel through words, imagination and experience, aiming to inspire curiosity, empathy and a deeper sense of connection to a land as enchanting and complex as it is vast.
