People have come to Roma to trade cattle since 1860.This book captures the stories and photos of many of those who, in more recent years, have come here to do business, to learn or just have a look – cattlemen, truckies, buyers, agents, stockmen, tourists, school children and not forgetting the saleyard staff or the ladies in the canteen – all the people who help to create the vibe of the place that is Roma Saleyards, the Biggest Cattle Selling Centre in Australia!
Now back in Brisbane, John met up with a host of the characters who worked at the saleyards - stockmen, buyers, agents, clerks, butchers, contractors, a stock inspector, a journalist and a market reporter as well as a vendor who sold cattle there in 1933, and recorded all their stories to come up with REMEMBER CANNON HILL, a lively and sometimes humorous record of what really went on out there during the 60 years that the saleyards served the industry. If you have ever had anything to do with Cannon Hill, you or your family might well be in this book, but even if you have never heard of the place, you will have fun finding out about our heritage and what life was like in the those days, as told by the people who were there and who still remember.

Imagine seeing the beauty of an outback sunrise or sunset, native desert animals doing what they do: scaring the hell out of you! While you are reading the yarns I have lived. The desert and the traditional Aboriginal people who live there won my respect and heart. The native animals were delightful to observe in their natural habitat. My favourites are the wedge tail eagles, who fly majestically in the sky, and the emus. The emu has it down pat! The female lays the eggs, and the male takes over from there with the incubating and raising the chicks. Have fun reading my yarns.
The awful secrets kept by the residents of the remote Australian town of Outer Maroo are finally revealed when a couple arrives searching for their children who have become followers of Oyster, a sinister, fanatical cult leader.
