Fourth Estate, 2012. Softcover. Very Good (Used copy). AUSTRALIANA Biography AgricultureAutobiography of Ian Parkes (founder of Parkes Clemenger Advertising, Perth) 341 p., [24] p. of plates : ill., maps, ports. ; 24 cm.First Edition #0119/170424'People who truly live in the outback listen to it. What they hear, I do not know .What the country says is beyond words.' In the early 1950s, Australia was riding on the sheep's back and no-one doubted the wisdom of making a life in the wool industry, certainly not sixteen-year-old Ian Parkes. Having grown up with his grandfather's stories about the bush, he was eager to earn his way on sheep stations in the Australian outback. But he had no idea that the country would creep inside him and take root. Tough yet tender, funny one moment, poignant the next, this is the story of a life lived on the land and for the land. It was a time when a young lad starting out might work side-by-side with Aboriginal stockmen, when a big social event was a day at the races, followed by a game of two-up. And a time when a young man might discover a love of books, camped out under the stars. Parkes, Ian, 1934- Jackeroos -- Australia -- Biography Livestock workers -- Australia -- Biography Australian Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
