"Charles 'Bud' Tingwell's War Stories"    

The late Charles “Bud” Tingwell was one of Australia’s favourite actors, having appeared in more than 100 films and TV series, including The Desert Rats, The Shiralee, Breaker Morant, The Castle, The Dish and Changi.

What many fans don’t know is that Bud was a RAAF pilot in World War II, flying 75 sorties in Spitfires and Mosquitoes in the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean. He came close to death more than once. In War Stories Bud recalls his war – the early training, the long sea hauls across the Pacific and round Cape Horn to get to the Middle East, life in camp and the dangers of flying through German flak on his photo reconnaissance missions.

War Stories also pays tribute to Australia’s World War II heroes. All 20 Victoria Cross winners are here, their extraordinary stories told in detail. So are 50 other brave men and women, always remembered for their courage both at home and overseas.

War was declared on 3 September 1939. This book, published on the 70^th anniversary of that declaration, celebrates one man’s war and lauds the bravery of 70 other magnificent Australians. 

Author Kim Lockwood spent countless hours with Bud and six months researching the deeds of the other heroes. Kim has written, contributed to or edited 14 books, many dealing with Australian history.

"101 Ways to Get Free $$$ From The Government"    

There’s no doubt many Australians are doing it tough.

Whether you’re young or old, a tradie, labourer, professional, a mum just looking to get back into a part-time job or a retiree needing to get back into the workforce, the economic downturn has left few of us untouched. And if you’re one of the lucky ones whose job is secure, then no doubt you know someone who is struggling to pay the mortgage and put food on the table.

Australia may not feel like ‘the lucky country’ at the moment; but we’re certainly lucky to live where we have a real Government safety net if, and when, the hard times come – and they come to most of us at some time or another.

Both author Grace Johnston and researcher Danny Murray know what it’s like when those times come. They both know how hard it is to swallow their pride and put out their hands for help – and at the same time how hard it is to find out what’s available and what they’re entitled to.

That’s why they’ve worked together to uncover some of the more hidden, unusual or difficult-to-access pockets of $$$ that can help when you really need it, and have brought them together in this great little guide - 101 Ways to get free $$$ from the Government.

So, count your blessings – and make sure you find out and ask for what you’re entitled to. There’s no shame in it; we all need a hand at some stage.

"Outlaw Bikers"    

The image of the outlaw bikie started with The Wild One and Rebel without a Cause. Then and now, the outlaw suspects straight society is full of crap, but he doesn’t care and he doesn’t want to change it; he wants to be left alone to do whatever he damn well likes. A rebel yell moves his spirit, and his wildness needs expression within a brotherhood. That has not changed in the half century since those films. But crime has. Criminals who ride bikes have made and sold drugs over most of that time, and been part of that violent trade.  Brotherhoods clash, and when they do, people can wind up maimed, dead or doing time.

From Hells Angel Chris Hudson on his rampage in the Melbourne CBD, to the 1984 Father's Day Massacre, the Blackmarket Cafe, Gypsy Jokers and Greenslopes Angels, Outlaw Bikers is a ripper read for anyone intrigued by the world of motorcycle clubs, the criminal acts some members of these clubs have committed, for those who have enjoyed the recent television hit Underbelly or those who enjoy reading about True Crime.
