It gives an indication of what was going on in the town and even what the major industry was.

The book is also based around traditional Aussie front bars and the many funny characters in them, the stories they would tell, and some of the extraordinary things they would get up to... "Eventually nothing would surprise me with some of the extraordinary and at times quite bizarre things I heard and witnessed in the front bar of some pubs. Some of the characters that I have encountered by just going to work, and the stories they would tell about the things they would get up to, were just far too bizarre, strange but humorous, and at times very scary, not to share with others." From having a beer with a psychiatrist who claimed to be off work on stress leave; to meeting a fellow who painted sparrows yellow and then tried to sell them as canaries; to winning two baby buffalos in a card game in the bar because the bloke that I beat had no money; to serving this unusual little man who claimed to be the first person in Australia to be shot out of a canon and watching this fellow walk into the pub with a popcorn machine strapped to his back, claiming that he just had a close encounter with an alien...
