ABC Radio Interview: Yanks in the Outback!

“Yanks in the Outback” ABC radio interview …

Stopped by the ABC radio studio in Alice Springs on Thursday 9 Jul 2015 and had a “yarn” with Mark Jeffery about my new book Yanks in the Outback: A story of Woomera, South Australia, the Joint Defense Facility Nurrungar (JDFN) and the First Gulf War. Click on the play button above to have a listen.

I only lasted in the “hot seat” for about 6 or 7 minutes, but I found it enjoyable as Mark made me feel at home in the studio.

Mark wanted to know if my book talks about the great Aussie icon – Vegemite.  Glad he asked.  I’ve got a whole section in the book titled, “Vegemite and the cafeteria.”  It’s where I learned how important Vegemite is to the Australians.  It’s where I learned you don’t mess with the Vegemite!

He also asked how to get a copy of the book … easy!  Access the internet, type in “amazon.com” then search for “Yanks in the outback.”  Follow the prompts … the book will be at your doorstep before you can say, “May I have another Vegemite sandwich please!”
