Book excerpt: Yarns and memories that capture the experience of policing in the bush, gathered by the inimitable Bill 'Swampy' Marsh, bestselling author of GREAT AUSTRALIAN FLYING DOCTOR STORIES and GREAT AUSTRALIAN CWA STORIES. 'I tell you, you meet some strange characters in this game ...' Boasting the biggest beats in the world -- some as large as France -- Australia's outback police have seen it all: natural disasters, incredible acts of selflessness, unspeakable crimes and daring rescues, just to name a few.

FROM SOME OF THE BIGGEST BEATS IN THE WORLD COME THESE UNFORGETTABLE TALES OF ADVENTURE AND MISADVENTURE, DRAMA AND MAYHEM, LARRIKINISM AND LAUGHTER. After there'd been a robbery in a block of Wiluna retirement units, two police officers arrive to begin their investigations. They knock on the front door of the first unit in the block. An old lady answers. 'Lady,' says one of the police officers, 'where were you between 5 and 6?' 'I'm not exactly sure, officer,' replies the old lady, 'but I was most probably in kindergarten.'

And they've met some unforgettable characters along the way. This memorable and eye-opening collection of real-life accounts from cops on the frontline in the heart of Australia is by turns inspiring, poignant, heartbreaking and hilarious. Bill 'Swampy' Marsh is an award-winning writer and performer of stories, songs and plays. He spent most of his youth in rural south-western NSW and now lives in Adelaide. Swampy is one of ABC Books' bestselling authors of Australian stories; this is his twentieth book.

Book excerpt: Real life police drama is okay...but true stories of police emergencies that make you laugh out loud--as well as shudder--are better! Experience what it's like to be involved in a high-speed car chase. Learn how to cope with the stress of telling someone of the death of a loved one. What is life like on a remote Australian desert aboriginal community? How do police deal with tribal 'pay-back' spearing incidents? Experience the anguish of working in a war zone...and why controlling your imagination is so crucial, when you find yourself alone facing a deranged man armed with a weapon. Stare death in the face at the hands of drunken or drug crazed people...and live to tell the tale. Laughter helps the mind, heals the body and is a critical survival tool for all who work on the frontline of death, dying and disaster. Take a peek inside this diary of a West Australian Police Officer who knows that it's okay to laugh at yourself and the world around you. A natural storyteller, Bob MacDonald's writing is refreshing and makes easy reading. MacDonald spent thirty years serving as a police officer; working his way through the ranks--from a raw recruit through to a commissioned officer attached to the Internal Investigation Branch of the Professional Standards Portfolio. His duties included time with the United Nations Civilian Police blue beret peacekeepers, based on the island nation of Cyprus during the Greek/Turkish conflict, as well as extensive service in Australian outback locations; Papua New Guinea and North Solomon Islands.
