Obtaining a DNA report with information about your ancestry is easily arranged these days.  Unfortunately, the DNA information supplied is very general and only provides details of ancestral ethnic areas.  To really know our ancestors, we must research our family history to uncover the stories:  the achievements, the tragedies, happiness and sorrow.  In this book, I have attempted to not only document my Scottish heritage but also record some of the family stories that I have uncovered during my research.  Although the relevant facts, dates and places resulting from research are all necessary components of ancestral history, it’s the stories that provide a real insight into our ancestral past.Of course, this type of project is never complete because there are always mysteries to solve, leads to follow and gaps to fill.  Hopefully, some young enthusiastic descendant will take on this task.

"One day, we awaken and feel the discomfort in our comfort. We pull back to curtain and wonder if we caught a glimpse of bars across the window and we rise again." In that moment, we decided to Lead through Life. No longer will we aimlessly follow. No longer will we blindly accept the stories we are fed. We will strike our own path. But what does that path look like? In his conformity-breaking new book, Stew Darling provides a simple Framework empowering every reader to create their own path to leadership. We all hold positions of leadership: mum, dad, partner, brother, sister, friend, colleague. But the word 'leader' has become tainted by some in power. As Stew explains, true leadership is based not in power, but in service. When we harness that definition of leadership, the 'call to arms' of Lead through Life becomes a thrilling and life-changing endeavour. Written with humour and vulnerability, Lead through Life takes you on Stew's journey from a traumatic childhood event, to the battlefields of the Middle East and on to entrepreneurship. These were the foundations upon which he came to create, and live by, the Lead through Life Framework. With twelve simple words, this Framework simplifies leadership and makes it accessible to all. The Lead through Life Framework has already changed the lives of many. This book will enable every reader to join the growing number who have decided to take up their own challenge and Lead through Life. "Leadership is nothing more than an extension of the practices of being a good citizen."

The falling price of wool triggers violent confrontation between the pastoralists and the shearers union. Banks across Australia begin to close their doors as property values plummet.

His wife Isabelle is a resourceful woman of the outback but like her husband, she is wondering how they can survive. Home alone with her children, through the heat haze, she sees an old swagman pushing a loaded wheelbarrow towards her and anticipates he will ask her for a meal and a cup of tea. She loads the shotgun and leans it behind the door 'just in case'. Little does she know of the many ways this old swagman will change her life and that of her family.

What can I do to make a decent life? What creation of mine betters our world? Our life is governed by time, told through story. In these stories, lessons are learned, if we are looking. Lessons of self-discipline, greed, choice, and soft determinism; but these choices we make ? lead to what? Are we discovering destiny or is life meaningless chance? Fate or coincidence? Divinity or meaninglessness? Chance or destiny? The desire for a decent life, a life of adventure, love and nurture, a life filled with family, choice, opportunity, and potential for everyone; that is a decent life. But we find corruption, a society halting progress, immoral, unjust, and we must ask ourselves one simple question: to injustice, what ought to happen? What price could be worth murder? Bonded by trust, joined in love, this is a pursuit to rid the world of evil. Through streams of corruption they wade, seeking justice for those whose time and potential was stolen. But evil so vast, corruption so deep, and the greatest enemy is who? What is the greatest evil? Dream led, pursuit driven, change; to become what we are not. To be good, we must know evil. To know yourself, you became someone else. It's duplicity of the self. We own our dreams no more than we own our fingerprint, no more than we chose our own birth. How can we be forged through something we do not own? What is A Decent Life?
