Author Bob Flatt tells his story of leaving home at age 15 to become a jackeroo and assistant station manger in Queensland's Gulf Country. Learning to ride horses, muster cattle and fix bores were just some of the day-to-day challenges Bob faced, as well as swimming with crocodiles, riding in rodeos, chasing cattle duffers and fighting floods and bushfires. Flatt brings to life many of his hair raising adventures and characters he met along the way.
