Near fine condition. Memoirs and memories of Alan Bain (1925 - 2008). In 1931 at the age of six, Alan Bain completed the first of many feats as bushman, horseman and drover. Like many of his time and place he had ambitions to use these skills to build a life of independence on the land, in the pastoral industry of the Gascoyne, West Australia. Successful in this aim, his reflections give an account of the challenges and changes involved in moving from camel driving to piloting small aircraft, and international cattle management.Alan tells of living and working with family, skilled local Aboriginal stockmen and a variety of people looking for work across the Depression, war and post war years.
