The Good the Bad & the Truth

Autor MR Niven Dallas
en Limba Engleză Paperback
"The Good The Bad and The Truth" are five sets of true stories. 380 pages of none-stop laughs, set in some seriously rough periods in the Kimberley, and the new West Australian town of Kununurra. All are very funny stories, some sad, and some terrifying. In this collection we have the lot. Power, image, greed, corporate manipulation; with death, love, and broken families. Then exposing runaway people in hiding, looking for a new life in the remote Australian bush, later to be found by disaster and misfortune. With secrets soon discovered, and all hope lost... then all suddenly erased by death. A life ending with a very comical funeral. Can a situation be cursed and all who are involved suffer a terrible penance? "The Curse of Gold" will give you a new view on strange things... Proving yet again gold has no master. "They want my boat" to entertain the visiting Crown Prince of Thailand. This scenic trip up the Ord River quickly became an Australian government bureaucratic nightmare. "Strange facts" were discovered while researching this book. Not many people know the Kimberley area in Western Australia on the Ord River was named after Lord Kimberley, the British Secretary of State for the colonies. But few know only six years prior, in 1873, this same bloke had named the Kimberley area on the Orange River in South Africa... Where they also found diamonds. These stories are about smart, dumb, and ignorant people. At some time or other, we have all been guilty of being one of those in our lives. I have discovered that refined threats or good advice is useless on dumb people, and not much in the way of constructive help with smart people. I must admit, at times I could have been one of those dumb people. Read these stories, I will let you be the judge.
