About the book:
A Scotsman looks at the People Places and Pubs of the New England Highway of Australia from a very personal perspective. The author travels the Highway talking to and observing and documenting the words and actions of publicans and politicians, whores and vagabonds, singers and songwriters, barmaids and bawds, men and women of the road, artists and miners, librarians and writers.  

About the author:
A Scotsman and Australian citizen of some 35 years. Drew Grozier spent many years trying to escape the cash book and the journal, to paraphrase Banjo Patterson. And he did escape, to become a roustabout, a successful business manager, an alcoholic, a lover of women, a marathon runner, sky diver, scuba diver, taxi driver, bush cook, barman; a musician of dubious talent, a photographer, a newspaper reporter of sorts, a world traveller and teller of tall tales.
