He's also a full-time journalist for the Illawarra Mercury, where he writes about transport - and beer whenever he gets the chance. He really likes beer but is totally cool if you don't.

Klappentext

Beer. You know it and you love it. But you might not know the part it played in Australian history. Right from the start beer was there. It was on board The Endeavour when Captain Cook set sail for Australia. It was drunk not long after the First Fleet landed in Botany Bay. But it wasn't there when our nation's capital started life as a dry city.
