The wisdom of hindsight along with some quirky anecdotes about the creature reveals the fun, folly and trauma of being a child in the sixties and a teenager in the seventies. Future events and adventures intertwine my account of childhood. Political, religious and social opinion are voiced, while exploring the inner working of the male mind at a time when the music was real and the world moved to a different beat. A brief but cathartic examination around the breakdown in one of Australia's largest Pentecostal churches in the 1990's brings to light unchecked natural emotions. Using a bit of poetic licence this loquacious prose unveils the thoughts, imaginations, actions and intimacies of real relationships. It is a humorous, dark, hopeful and informative tale. There is also some great fun around fishing, surfing, Bali and cruise ship holidays, leaving little time for the reader to get bored. It's not really about fishin'.
