    "gullivers travels"....not sure of the author .but it was the coolist book asa kid
    'The Rainbow Painter'.
    The Great Trek by Ian Idress. Tells the true story of the Jardine brothers who drove a mob (herd for the yanks)of cattle from southern Queensland to Sommerton on the very top of Cape York. The purpose was to set up a supply point for ships.
    I read it time after time, the Jardines were attacked by "black fellas" had to contend with mosquetos so big that they were later used a a design model for the 747 Jumbo. Floods, poisoned water. One hell of a story for a young Aussie bushie kid.

    I was a "Comic fan superman.cowboys "Hopa-long cassidy Roy Rogers .Batman. DC. comics great.  got them sent over from America.

    The bible as a kid? Seriously? Did you read any fun books? Did you even understand it as a child? Did you just say bible because it sounded right and you thought people would think highly of you because of it? Are you overly religious?
