A Kiwi' s stories of misadventure, mining and mayhem In 1989 Mike Bellamy set off for the remote town of Wiluna, on the edge of the Western Desert. Keen to make a buck from Australia' s mining boom, the fledgling Kiwi soon realised he' d walked across a frontier into a roughshod world where anyone trying to last longer than a desert sunrise had to watch their back, play by the rules, and keep their wits about them. Bellamy' s stories of dongas, dozers and diggers is a window back in time to work-hard, play-hard land, where snakes, spiders and flies were the least of your worries. Welcome to the tough mining country of Western Australia.
Mike Bellamy is a New Zealand author and earthworks contractor who lives in Taupo, New Zealand. His first book, Tough Country, was about the lives of loggers, hunters, scrub-cutters, fencers and bushmen in the New Zealand hinterland. Bellamy also spent 30 years in the mining country of Western Australia, which is the setting for his second book of yarns, Tough Outback.
