This guidebook tells you what to pack, what you can safely leave behind, a why an air compressor's as essential as a chocolate bar on a long drive. With interviews and a peek behind the scenes of the Buch Mechanics and Black As series, Batty spins you some ripper yarns, introduces you to his mates, gives you some friendly road-trip tips and gets you out of a jam when you've broken down in the middle of the bush. Designed to be picked up, put down, tossed in the glovebox, Batty's Bush Bible is all the inspiration you need to head out into the big red and create some epic memories. his book also contains the wisdom of many of the First Nations people he has worked with throughout his career, including interviews with the original Bush Mechanics and Black As boys. You'll find out how they stuff blown tyres with spinifex, fashion mulga wood into gear sticks and keep cars going long after their used-by date - and learn how to have a whirl yourself. Batty's Bush Bible is your guide to going bush and living to tell the tale. Filled with practical advice, ripper yarns and road-trip tips, it's designed to be picked up, put down, tossed in the glove box or, if you really need it, used for kindling to cook your tailgate dinner.
