The autobiography of RM Williams. This book is more than personal history, it is a story of adventure. The bush is his greatest love and throughout his life he has remained as close to it as possible, droving, running cattle stations, and breeding and training horses.
He left home in his teenage years and headed for the bush. For months he trekked through the desert and ranges of Central Australia as the camel-man of a two-man expedition. He then worked as a drover. The sale of a handmade pack-saddle to Sir Sidney Kidman for five pounds was the beginning of a business which grew rapidly. The mail-order business made him wealthy and positioned him as a household name throughout the bush.
