"The Good The Bad & The Truth" are six sets of true stories, creating some none-stop laughs. All set in some seriously rough periods in and around the developing remote Kimberley, and the West Australian town of Kununurra. "The Royal picnic" tells in painful detail my experience as the captain of a private chartered boat trip, travelling up the Ord River to entertain the visiting Crown Prince of Thailand. This boat trip quickly became a bureaucratic nightmare. "The diamond fever epidemic" is a true and accurate description of the twisted and deceptive race to find what would eventually become AK1, the world's largest producing diamond mine."Do you agree I was here first?" This is a moving true story of how my business partner and I were involved with the original Argyle mining claim and registration of this huge diamond mine, and the unusual dramatic build-up to its discovery."The curse of Gold" is a very spooky story. Four gold prospectors, working together find a perfect 27oz gold nugget. Within a month all four were faced with death in differing circumstances, places, and time... "Tale of two wives" will have you laughing non-stop... What some men do when they run away from their wife and the city family home. Then head for the bush a new life... and wife... only to die rather expectantly. "Strange facts" were discovered. Not many know the Kimberley area in Western Australia on the Ord River is named after Lord Kimberley, the British Secretary of State for the colonies. Six years prior, this same bloke had named the Kimberley area on the Orange River in South Africa. Then we have "The Majeed gold mine" owned by Mukarram Jah, the Eighth Nizam of Hyderabad. This gentleman had more gold stashed in his cutlery drawer than he ever extracted from his mine. However, no matter, he just wanted to own a gold mine... his employees wanted far more.
