A Pointless Story
About this audiobook
"Some people shape their future.
Some people follow what their future brings.
Some people wake up wondering where their future went…”.
1950, ten-year-old Max Charlton, was shipped from Blackpool to Australia’s post-war frontier. School at Cooma, NSW, bored him. Life didn’t.
Max learned fast under shearers Cook Stewart Driscol on the shearing circuit, where a week of mutton and flour taught more than a year of classrooms.
From there, he bluffed his way into concrete-truck driving in Canberra, then into the Army as a mechanic in Malaya’s tropical chaos.
Yet the smell of roasting mutton and flour dust always pulled him back. Michael delivers a compelling, laugh-out-loud memoir that sounds so real and proves life's best lessons are learned under pressure.
A truly Good Yarn, filled with relentless adventure and Michael Holding’s dry, uncompromising wit.
