'AUSSIE FLYBOY'

WW11 broke out in September 1939. Thousands of young Australian Airmen served in England, the Middle East and Burma. 'Aussie Flyboy' is the story of one young Airman, Rex Tate. A sequel to the very popular 'Memoirs of a Scottish War Bride', 'Aussie Flyboy' is a wonderful story of Courage, Adventure, Romance and Comradeship.

'SCONES, LAMINGTONS & CHOCOLATE ROLL'

Sheila was an Australian Town Girl who married her Man of the Land in the early 1940's. Cooking for Shearers, living on rabbit, kangaroo and wild pig, coping with the harsh outback heat, flies and droughts, Sheila travelled side by side with her farmer husband, eventually opening a successful homestead restaurant to 'drought Proof' the farm.

Journey through Sheila's life with stories, poetry, photographs and songs performed by Christine Middleton.
