Sobre IBD

At the height of AustraliaÕs 1970s recession, two young men leave home seeking fame and fortune. They travel through QueenslandÕs outback looking for work and arrive in Mount Isa, near broke.The city takes them in and so begins the adventure of creating their lives in the remote, rough and tumble environment of one of AustraliaÕs biggest mining communities.Set in among the hot, dry and arid landscape of QueenslandÕs Gulf Country, the two newcomers discover both the delights and difficulties of living far inland from their coastal origins. A variety of jobs take them to places that few people would have ever experienced, from prospecting deep in the bush to dark, damp mines located thousands of metres underground.Mates is a great story infused with warm Australian characteristics and humour. The regionÕs great mining history, Aboriginal people and extraordinary bushland have all been thoroughly researched and richly described by author Stephen Outram.
