HARD - Rugby League In The 70s

The decade of the 70s in rugby league is today acknowledged as one of the toughest eras of the game - tough, hardened men playing a game that never let up for eighty solid minutes. Most who played rugby league in first grade within the NSWRL competition worked five days a week and did their best to get to training on time three times a week, a scenario now long lost in the game. But thats how it was: the time spent playing the game was HARD to say the least -at its worst, it was brutal beyond all comprehension. Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs rugby league great Graeme Hughes, who played throughout this era, along with Tony Loxley, Will Evans and Tony Adams, have accumulated former players memories, anecdotes and mountains of images and memorabilia that tells the tale of the 70s in rugby league exactly as it was.

Celebrated as the greatest soccer player in the history of the game, Lionel Messi’s record-breaking career is a story of unprecedented goals and glory. The Inter Miami CF and Argentina superstar’s remarkable achievements have made him one of the world’s most famous athletes and a player who is always synonymous with entertainment, style and passion. When Messi joined MLS in the summer of 2023, his transfer to Inter Miami made headlines worldwide and with his first full league season starting in February, renewed Messi mania is set to sweep America.

The scorer of more than 800 goals for club and country, he captained Argentina to victory at the 2022 World Cup and boasts more than 40 major domestic and international winner’s medals in his extraordinary personal collection. This book celebrates a once-in -a-lifetime genius and his dazzling career, charting how Lionel Messi rewrote the sport’s record books and redefined how soccer could be played.

A Biography of Mervyn Bishop Australia's First Indigenous Professional Photographer

This illustrated biography of one of Australia’s treasured artists offers an intimate portrait of the struggles and triumphs of Mervyn Bishop, Australia’s ground-breaking Indigenous photographer. Born in Brewarrina NSW in 1945, he used chance, charm and talent to join the staff of the Sydney Morning Herald at just 17. He won a top news photography award but never received the customary pay increase. Disillusioned, Bishop moved to Canberra as a government photographer and took the iconic photo of Gough Whitlam pouring earth into the hands of traditional owner Vincent Lingiari. He later returned to Sydney and was eventually befriended by the arts scene, leading to his first solo exhibition in 1991.

Lady MacGyver

Unbelievable stories with altitude

From the cockpit of a Boeing 737 to the sun-kissed shores of Kiribati, Lady MacGyver is a remarkable memoir of grit, courage, and sky-high ambition. Michelle Huntington’s dreams of flight took root at the age of seven and, against all odds, she became one of just 500 female airline captains worldwide. Over two decades, she’s flown solo across vast oceans, landed on rugged outback strips, and even survived a lightning strike mid-flight. Michelle’s journey through the aviation world is anything but conventional. She navigates a turbulent path, side stepping naysayers and confronting systemic barriers. Through it all, she proves that with MacGyver-style ingenuity and maybe a touch of insanity no challenge is insurmountable. Told with sharp wit and unflinching candour, Lady MacGyver is packed with exhilarating adventures and powerful insights into resilience and resourcefulness.

Spotto

The Great Australian Car Game

This book gives a tongue-in-cheek framework for guidelines about the game of Spotto, plus delves into the deep philosophy and culture of what is Australia’s favourite in-car game. The reader is invited to understand and define their own specific rules for a game that is always different for everyone. For example: what makes a car spottable? Where did the game come from? How do you play? (And why are the rules always different?). Can you spot parked cars? Do trucks count? How hard can I punch? The reader is taken on a journey through history, philosophy and even theories concerning the definition of the colour yellow. Highly illustrated, this book will delight Spotto lovers everywhere.

When We Was Fab

Inside the Beatles Australasian Tour 1964

The Beatles historic – and hysterical – tour of Australasia was now over 60 years ago, but interest in the band and the visit never fades. The importance of the tour remains deeply significant, not only in the memories of baby boomers who lived through it, but also to today’s millennials who wish they had. The Beatles Australasian tour is continually celebrated as a major social landmark for both countries, a huge and lasting step in the advancing development of youth culture, and a major highlight of the Beatles’ remarkable career. When We Was Fab: Inside The Beatles Australasian Tour 1964 is the definitive and highly illustrated (with many previously unseen photographs) account of this extraordinary tour by the world’s most creative and influential musical force; the key moment in the coming of age of Australian and New Zealand youth as they embraced the cultural explosion of the 1960s. This new flexi-bound edition follows the sold-out limited edition hardback.

Author Bio:

Author: Judith Barker is an English teacher who has taught phonemic awareness to children in Europe, the Middle East, India and China. While completing an MA in Phonology, Judith began to use visual language in stories by colouring the different phonemes, so that children could make a holistic sense of the various spelling patterns. When Judith is not writing children’s stories or plays, she is usually found somewhere exploring the great outdoors.

Illustrator: Originally from New Zealand, Janie Frith attended art school and then became an art teacher. In 2006 Janie moved to Australia with her family and now lives in Foster, South Gippsland. Janie holds art classes in her studio, Art Blast. This is where Janie spends most of her time, usually with her naughty border collie Lucy snuggled under her feet.

The AR in Sydney Harbour

Beautifully illustrated by Janie Frith, the rich colours and vibrant use of multi-media enhance this magical experience, highlighting the many different sights and spectacles a visitor might see on a Sydney Harbour boat trip.

The AR in Sydney Harbour is a fun Australian-themed phoneme story that teaches young readers about the bossy vowel sound AR and where they can find it in different words.

The first book from Judith and Janie, the OO in Uluru , won a 2019 Book of the Year award from Speech Pathology Australia; this is their eighth book, the others focussing on the sounds A, EE, I, O, OO, AU and NG.
