The gap between the city and the bush has never been greater and the bush has never had to work harder to meet the challenges of our rapidly changing society. This is a book about the never-say-die spirit of those who live in regional Australia; the people and communities who see opportunity and the chance for renewal where others see dust. They’re the people Tim Fischer and Peter Rees know best. In his 30 years as a parliamentarian, Tim has crisscrossed the country listening to the stories of rural Australians while Peter has maintained a keen interest in the people of the bush since his time as a journalist on the Wagga Wagga ‘Daily Advertiser. Here Tim and Peter show that the ‘have a go’ spirit of the bush means adapting to the challenges of the new century with canny thinking, hard work and a refusal to give up. Coming from every corner of Australia, these stories are real, rich and funny, with the power to inspire us all.
