Hes a cross between an Australian original, a national treasure and a colourful swaggie who lost his way and fi nished up in 2005. I cant recommend him highly enough. Peter FitzSimonsMurray Hartins great poem, Rain From Nowhere, while having a happy ending, eloquently and vividly speaks of far less fortunate outcomes. It is as human a story as it is an Australian one. Schools all across rugged and beautiful Australia should use Rain From Nowhere as a teaching tool. An excellent and brave piece of work.
