Download or read book Flying Bushman written by Greg Keynes and published by Gelding Street Press. This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up on the family property, Curbur, in outback Western Australia, Murchison country, Greg Keynes' childhood seemed idyllic. Poignant memories of exploring with his dogs; hunting, working and joking with the local Yamatji people. Breaking free from family ties as a young man, Greg began his own aerial mustering business and fell in love with Kim, a girl from Perth. Together their life was sweet, until one day, a routine muster in the rocky gorges of the Hamersley Range went horribly wrong. Along the majestic blue ranges and scouring river beds of the Pilbara, the Flying Bushman is more than a story of memories in the outback, it's a collective reminder of the true Australian Spirit with our resilience, courage and wild hearts that survive the harsh and at times unforgiving terrains that ultimately make us who we are. The Flying Bushman is liberally illustrated with original photographs from Greg's working life as a chopper pilot.

Download or read book The Bushman s Lair written by Paul McKendrick and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-24 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of Western Canada’s most enduring legends involve wilderness fugitives like the Mad Trapper of Rat River or Gunanoot of the Skeena. This book is about one of the most mysterious and most recent fugitives, the Bushman of the Shuswap, who made national headlines while on the lam in the wilderness around Shuswap Lake during the turn of the millennium. For several years he played cat and mouse with the RCMP, raiding summer cottages for supplies and giving media interviews at the edge of the bush only to vanish like smoke. Who was the mysterious Bushman? What drove him? What happened to him? Author Paul McKendrick became obsessed with these questions after a group of houseboaters discovered a doorway built into a rocky outcrop above a remote arm of Shuswap Lake. It opened into an elaborately excavated nine-hundred-square-foot home, complete with electricity and other amenities—the Bushman’s long-sought hideout. Intrigued by the ingenuity of the fugitive’s lair and sensing that there was more to the story than what had been reported by the media, McKendrick began reaching out to people who knew the man, whose real name was John Bjornstrom. What had driven Bjornstrom to go on the lam in the first place, and why specifically to the Shuswap? Why did he escape from prison shortly before completing his sentence? The Bushman’s Lair is the culmination of numerous interviews, court and RCMP transcripts and McKendrick’s own experience of following the Bushman’s trails. The stranger-than-fiction story that McKendrick has woven together is as full of twists and surprises as any reader could hope for: a child of Romani refugees raised by outdoor enthusiasts from Norway; a bizarre, top-secret US military program that recruited individuals with supposed psychic abilities; conspiracy theories and entanglements with shady characters; an alleged hit list tied to the infamous Bre-X mining scandal; and more. Reminiscent of John Vaillant's The Golden Spruce and Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, this fascinating portrait of a far-from-ordinary fugitive makes for a page-turning read.
Download or read book The Dream written by Babak Yazdani and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-10 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dream: Bushman to Business Jets is a true story of becoming a pilot. The struggle to get that elusive first job, to travel, to see the world and eventually write a book about it. Travelling to remote parts of the world, people met along the way, the anecdotes and experiences over the past twenty plus years. It's a positive story not only for aspiring pilots, but everyone in general, an understanding that people are the same around the world. We all have the same ambitions, struggles and basic needs in life. Working as a pilot afforded me that experience, at times it was not at all glamorous, but merely an existence, and in the end, an experience. Graduating flight school in 1996, I didn't expect I'd ever be living in Russia, or spending time in Kazakhstan. I never thought I'd sail a boat halfway across the Indian Ocean and almost run out of food, or break my skull on a ceiling fan and have surgery in Singapore. It's a story about a journey filled with obstacles, faraway exotic locations, foreign countries, deserted islands and exploring the world. I graduated from Aviation College in May 1996 with a Diploma in aviation technology and business management. That was the easy part. Then began the struggle to find that elusive first job, build enough hours and eventually get hired by an airline. The airlines offered that dream of a glamorous jet-setting lifestyle travelling the world. So at least that was the image of it all. It turned out quite different than planned. My career as a pilot for the past twenty plus years has afforded me not only to travel on almost every continent, but to live full-time in many remote locations. I initially started writing a journal of the interesting things I had encountered, which eventually turned into a book. The story of the struggle of getting my first job flying seaplanes on remote islands near Alaska, working in the Yukon and the high Arctic of Canada. Then onto the Maldives, and chain of remote islands in the Indian Ocean, five years in war-torn Angola then onto Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Argentina, Kazakhstan, China and many other places in between. A story about a journey filled with obstacles, faraway exotic locations, foreign countries, deserted islands, people, culture and exploring the world.
Download or read book Bushmen Soldiers written by Ian Uys and published by Helion and Company. This book was released on 2014-07-19 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bushman soldiers were the most outstanding all-round fighters of the Border War. As the first of the indigenous population to take up arms on South Africa's behalf, they were among the last to lay them down. The border's oldest and most bush-wise people, they became feared as relentless trackers and dedicated soldiers. Coming from a primitive hunter/gatherer culture, they responded well to a crash course in modern warfare. Their use of automatic weapons and mortars, coupled with their phenomenal tracking abilities, made them a formidable fighting force. During Operation Savannah they were deployed in a conventional role as Battle-Group Alpha, part of Task Force Zulu, and advanced approximately 2,000 kilometers in a month. Afterwards, some of the Bushmen were trained as parachutists and served as Recces behind enemy lines. Others were attached to various units as trackers and guides. Their loyalty and bravery was recognized in the award of Honoris Crux decorations to members and former members of this elite corps. Controversy followed the battalion to South Africa after the war. Persecuted for centuries, the Bushmen have displayed an uncanny ability to survive and have adapted remarkably well to the modern world. Their transition from the Stone Age in less than 20 years is a story, which will never be forgotten. Hailed as the 'Gurkhas of Africa' the Bushmen have proved themselves second to none. This is an exceptional record of 31 and 201 Battalions and their remarkable personnel, fully illustrated with many photographs.

This book about a true New Zealand bushman, of a life lived against the grain, of adventure in New Zealand's thickest wilderness and a lifestyle any Kiwi bloke would envy. Pete the Bushman has lived a life inseparable from the bush - these are his stories of running down deer on foot, heli-hunting in his own chopper, finding the perfect woman and eking out a living from the bush. He and his wife Justine run the Bushman’s Centre, 35 mins south of Hokitika, established in 1991 as a place to show visitors how local people use the South Island forest. Pete’s café and the Puke Pub (opposite the centre) is famous for wild food, particularly possum, offering snacks like possum jerky, possum pie and possum pâté. They won one of the Monteith’s Wild Food Challenge, with ‘Chicken of the Forest’, ‘a baked, spiced possum on a bed of fresh vegetables with a touch of wild bush mint sauce’. Also known as 'Possum Pete', the Bushman is one of the eccentric and colourful characters featured on TVNZ’s ‘This Town’.
