Rolling Into the World
Written by Eoin Cameron
Packed with childhood adventures that are sometimes hilarious, sometimes terrible, Rolling Into the World begins with ABC broadcaster and former Federal MP Eoin Cameron’s birth on the slopes of the volcanic crater of Mount Gambier. From riding on the lino polisher to homemade rocket launches, from Actavite to Biggles, his experiences growing up in a constantly expanding Catholic family during the 1950s and 60s make a terrific read.
