Australian History is full of colourful heroes. Many of them, like the ANZACS, Ned Kelly…and even Phar Lap, have provided the basis for what we like to call true Aussie character. In every case their real-life exploits have exclipsed those of our fictional heroes - like the Man from Snowy River and Crocodile Dundee. But not all our heroes are well known. For every one with a high profile, there were many others whose adventures also captured that same distinctive Australian spirit. Perhaps one of the reasons some of our heroes went relatively unrecognised was that, with every act of courage and daring, there always seemed to be a touch of scandal and disrepute - instances where the so-called larrikin spirit went a touch too far and the need to survive meant bending the rules. That's how they became our tarnished heroes. In his inimitable style, Bush Tucker Man Les Hiddins introduces us to some of the, weaving into their fascinating stories his own wide knowledge and first hand experiences of the Australian bush.
