Monte Dwyer

“. . . a book that will help Australia better understand itself.” Charles Wooley

Book One in the series, inspired by radio interviews collected on round-Australia jaunt for a national broadcaster; stories mostly light and bright with an amusing “innocent abroad” feel.

The Australian Bush Through Urban Eyes

“He views life with a Jack Nicholson like, quizzical overview, a Why is this thus? disdain.” Ted Egan

Entertaining account of Monte struggling to come to grips with Sunrise, technology and a newly-acquired 4WD bus determined to kill him.

Monte’s amusing transition from mainstream television to freelance multimedia something-or-other; stories edgier and more chaotic than the first book, a touch of restrained madness here.

Through a Crooked Lens

"...he is ultimately an entertainer, and he writes to delight." Peter FitzSimons

Beautifully rounded stories from some little-known regions of Australia.

Looking for the H Chord

On a remote cattle station in Far North Queensland, four gold prospectors push their luck and pay the price.

Venturing too close to the homestead they attract the attention of the landholders, who arrive armed and dangerous. Only three of the prospectors make it out alive.

This is the story of Bruce Schuler’s murder at Palmerville Station on the 9th of July, 2012. His murderers, Stephen Struber and his wife Dianne Wilson, had for decades been a law unto themselves, terrorising all who dared cross ‘their’ land. Or as Struber saw it, playing ‘Cowboys and Indians’ and chasing them off the property. Using real bullets.

Struberville is also a look at the darker side of isolation, and what happens to the civilising influence of society when nobody’s watching out there.

Struberville: The Consequences of Isolation

Darwin longgrassers have been living large since the beginning. They come from all over the Territory to camp in the public spaces around town, to catch up with family and friends, attend health and legal matters, holiday and shop, and drink. Especially drink. And the whitefellas don’t like it. They think they’re noisy and dirty and rude. So, they try to move them on.

For 150 years they’ve been trying to move them on. But the longgrassers won’t go. Yet beneath this running battle between the settled and the free lurks an undeniable truth about colonisation that is almost Newtonian in style. This is a story of resilience and denial against outrageous odds, an underdog’s triumph of survival in the modern world, for a people who just refuse to give in
