This story is about finding ones center, ones strengths and weaknesses and standing alone, free of the secure world that had surrounded you for your first twenty-years. It's about a young mans journey that took him from just being a insecure adolescent to an adult in a short breath of just 12 months in 1974. I was responsible for instigating this trip and feel that its one so interesting that I have recounted that year in his life in The Great Australian Bite. Read on and enjoy a trip across Australia and back in an old ambulance and back. Australia has been called the "Land of Lies" but for some it's the land where the truth becomes engrained into your soul when you dare to see what's really there. This journey was never foretold by anyone of us but it unfolded just as the story flows. I will say that what came over the face of the South Australian Police detective when he realized his "cock-up" must have been a truly golden moment in policing. All the names, and most organization in this story are fictitious. Most names have been changed to protect the guilty and the innocent alike. Enjoy and laugh about this adventure, one of those that one could never could have written until it happened.
