The Saving of Private Moore

By Vince Cusworth

Jum Moore was born in Victoria just as the gold rushes there petered out and depression hit the entire eastern half of the continent. A young Jum moved with his family to Boulder on the West Australian goldfields at the turn of the last century searching for a better life. Hard work and sacrifice were just beginning to bear fruit when Australia and the rest of the world were plunged into a war that was to decimate an entire generation. Jum and three of his brothers signed up to fight for King and country and for an adventure on the other side of the world. What transpired though, was an unimagined catastrophe that would claim the life of three of the boys. Far from home and already wounded himself, it would be his mothers love that would save him from France's killing fields and the dedication of his childhood sweetheart that would help him survive the traumatic after effects. With the most tumultuous and defining period of Australia's history swirling around him, Jum's luck would see him through and enable him to start again to build a life after the war, a future denied to his three brothers and to many of his fellow diggers.

Albert Edmund Cockram 1870-1943

by The Hon. Robyn Mary McSweeney

This is the amazing story of my great grandfather Albert Edmund Cockram who was, in his time, was the largest importer of Thoroughbred Racehorses into Australia from Europe and New Zealand. The best blood lines that money could buy were purchased. In one year alone he bought in 150 horses from overseas by ship in the early part of the century.

He built and owned Belmont and Goodwood Racecourses in Perth. His racing colours of Purple and Orange were renowned all over the Commonwealth. His horses won major races throughout Australia, five Perth Cups, Epsom's, three Sydney Cups, three Hannan's Cups, Waverley, Railway Stakes, Villiers, to name but a few. He was an inaugural member of Trotting in this State, a life member of W.A.T.A., a life member of W.A.T.C., President of the Merino Breeders Association, Vice President of the Royal Agricultural Society. He was owner and director of Griffin Coal and an entrepreneur in mining, racing and agriculture. He funded the first expedition which explored the North West coastline from Broome to Derby and recognised the huge potential for agriculture and mineral wealth. 'The Cockram and Stuart Expedition' took a cinematographer with them to record the first pictures taken of that region.

They then went to London trying to get investors to open up the North West. This book not only covers his life story and achievements but connects the first five families of mine that came to Western Australia from 1833.

By James Halford

An Australian writer and a Mexican scientist fall in love reading great Latin American books aloud. But it takes a decade of journeys across the region, together and apart, for them to learn to read each other.

Requiem with Yellow Butterflies is a love story and travel memoir that unfolds against the turbulent backdrop of Latin America in the 2000s. It takes us on a 1200-kilometre question-mark shaped loop through the newly socialist republics of the “pink tide,” to a requiem mass for Mexico’s disappeared and eventually back to Australia.

Through evocative, unexpected pairings of southern hemisphere places and authors – Jose María Arguedas’s Andes and Judith Wright’s Cooloola coast, the Argentine pampa and the central Queensland brigalow country – the book explores distinct but parallel postcolonial literary traditions, the disordering state of love and the strangeness of coming home.

PRAISE FOR REQUIEM WITH YELLOW BUTTERFLIES:

Australia and Latin America enter into a mutually illuminating dialogue in Halford’s travel essays, with their engagingly unheroic protagonist.

J.M. COETZEE

Literary in the best sense of the word – attentive to place, inventive in its descriptions and bold in its disclosures.

GAIL JONES

At its heart, Requiem with Yellow Butterflies is a deeply loving portrait of South America, and of the often unexpected currents that flow from its shores to our own. James is a writer who wants to hear and to learn, and so inevitably his travels bring him closer to the lives of the continent’s many brilliant writers and the extraordinary cultures that produced them. He collects their stories, and along the way seeks out the first steps of his own – as a writer, traveller, husband and father.

Portland to Los Angeles on two wheels and a song

by Joanna Wallfisch

An adventurer at heart, in August 2016 Joanna embarked on a solo concert tour
of the West Coast of the USA...by bicycle. Over the course of 1,154 miles (1,860 km) she performed 16 solo shows between Portland and Los Angeles carrying her musical instruments, camping gear, and everything else she needed upon her bike.

This book follows Joanna’s journey from the moment the idea was sparked in Brooklyn to the triumphant completion at Santa Monica Pier, and everything in between. Throw in some sex, drugs, cooperative accomodation services, sleazy men and, of course, more than a little music, and Joanna will take you on the ride of her life.
