This wonderful memoir by Tony Adam better known as 'The Marlboro Man' is written with a heart-felt intimacy of the country and its inhabitants and a passionate love of horses. From the dusty bush to the bright lights of Melbourne, and New Zealand’s high - country, fame and its trappings never change this honest humble man. It recounts the truth about Australia’s pastoral cultural traditions and the way Tony becomes one of its central iconic images, representing sixteen years of Marlboro country commercials on cinema, television, billboards and point of sale material. Written in a simple style with some great laconic larrikin humour and fabulous characters this story captures the real essence of the Australian bush and outback from the middle 1950s onwards.
