Tales of a Travelling Showman is a fifty years history of a sideshow family living, working and travelling the agricultural shows and capital shows along the East Coast of Australia.  The book takes you behind the scenes and into the canvas-backed world of the "showie".  It describes the old tent shows, the games, the characters, the fight, the living and working condition and the freedom of the open road.  It's a book for the baby boomer generation who can look back and remember the fun of show day and what Australia was like back then.  It's an eye opener for younger generations who can't imagine anyone living without electricity, tv or mobile phones.  It's a rollicking good read.  You''' love it.
