Later, like his father, he gave his strength in the tough world of the barges and timber getters, fruit pickers, labourers and tramps who struggled for survival around the river towns. Mick's story of a rough and tumble life on the edge of disaster is full of gusto- the rough schooling, the riverside gangs, the fruit stealing, hunting, fishing, trespassing and troublemaking have Mick and his mates a mere half step ahead of authority.But the Murray River, finding any work and helping to keep his family together are the three forces in Mick's life and draw him inevitably to follow two old drinking mates, his cantankerous father and the scandalous Uncle Bob, on their forays on the river and in the bush.The river is always part of life- it's beauty and tranquility touching a young man's soul, its floods and hidden hazards treating life, its currents carrying his outrigger barge, like a floating juggernaut, to the mills.A Riverman's Story is a story as rich and varied as the river itself-always moving, sometimes turbulent and a witness to a great parade of life.…
