Book Description
Ever since he was a young man living on the Gold Coast, Gary had dreamed of riding a motor-cycle around Australia. His focus on family, qualifications, career and mortgage conspired to push this dream out of his mind. Life had stopped being fun and he could see that it wouldn’t get better unless he changed his thinking. Then one night while lying in his hammock, sipping red wine, and listening to music, a song from his past came over the speaker. It was a message from his younger self reminding him of his dreams. He made a goal, got a motorcycle and some camping gear, and within two years he was on a solo motorcycle adventure through Queensland. This book is more than a motorcycle travel story, it’s an adventure through the heart of Queensland and the soul of Australia. Along the way, Gary learns the secret of life, loses his money by betting on chickens and solves the murder of the swaggie from the song Waltzing Matilda. His message to the reader is that it’s never too late to set and achieve goals. If he can do it anyone can, and it’s easier than you think. Just twist the throttle and look out for kangaroos.

Book Description
This book is about adventure motorcycle riding, middle age, and chicken racing, but most of all, it's about adventure and what it means to be an adventurer. On this journey, I learn to ride an adventure motorcycle in some of Queensland's most challenging terrain. I developed a sense of self-reliance and found solitude and wild camping in remote areas. This book is the beginning of my quest to ride around Australia. Queensland has some of the best adventure riding trails, tracks and roads in the world, from deep bull dust highways and long sandy beach rides to spectacular waterfalls and trails through tropical rainforests. Every town has a story, from bloody conflicts to the formation of political parties; throughout this journey, I take the reader through the heart of Queensland and the soul of Australia.

This is the true story of two Englishwomen getting caught up in one of the most fascinating and inexplicable "time travel" experiences ever recorded.

The Thorn Birds

One of the most beloved novels of all time, Colleen McCullough's magnificent saga of dreams, struggles, dark passions, and forbidden love in the Australian outback has enthralled readers the world over.

I Saw the Glories of Heaven
Author: Gary Wood
Publisher: Whitaker House
ISBN: 1629119938
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
On December 23, 1966, eighteen-year-old Gary Wood was driving with his younger sister Sue along a dark street in their hometown. They were heading home singing Christmas songs when Sue spotted an illegally-parked tow truck sticking out into their lane of traffic. Her scream pierced the night only a moment before the car crashed headlong into the obstruction. In the accident, Gary suffered a mid-face injury with laryngeal fractures—his vocal cords and voice box were completely shattered. Doctors offered no hope that Gary would ever talk again. What the doctors didn't realize, however, was that in the aftermath of the accident, Gary was given the miraculous experience of spending twenty minutes in heaven. While there, Gary witnessed sights such as the city of heaven; the grand auditorium; the spare parts room; and the Throne Room, as well as his very own personal mansion. He was also given ten amazing signs regarding Christ's ultimate return. At the end of his time in heaven, Gary was commissioned to spend the rest of his time on earth telling his story and making Jesus real for people. God miraculously healed Gary and promised him that wherever he told his story, people would be saved, healed, and delivered. In the years that followed, Gary became a world-renowned evangelist, all while thanking God for his inspired life.
