The men and women you'll meet in this fascinating book come in all shapes and sizes, from convicts and engineers to cattleduffers and anthropologists. These remarkable Australians share an extraordinary ability to survive the rigours of the bush. In Outback Heroes, Evan McHugh brings together his favourite ripping yarns from the Australian frontier. He begins with escaped convict William Buckley, who emerged from the forest after thirty-two years in the wild; re-examines the legends of the Man from Snowy River and Waltzing Matilda; recounts one of the most stunning rescues in Australian history; and relives the 2000 Olympics Opening Ceremony. These and other true stories of courage and ingenuity remind us how the Australian character was forged – through encounters with the bush, desert and outback.

Best man Rafe Cameron's feelings are aroused all over again at the sight of Ally Kinross so amazingly beautiful in her bridesmaid's dress.They loved one another passionately five years ago, but Ally needed to escape the Outback and pursue her dream of a career in Sydney. Realizing that what they had is more important, Ally has come back to win Rafe's love again, persuade him to risk his pride and his heart -- and maybe, just maybe, lead her up the aisle.
